car wont start

Hi guys, My car wont start when cold. Engine is sparking and turning over but does not want to start.

However, I am able to bump/push start the car to fire up. I can then turn off and on the car when i please.

But, when i come back to the car after an hour or two the same problem occurs.

Please help

Cheers.

IMO Idle mixture to lean caused by, a dead cold start injector, dead coolant temp sensor, or might just need adjusting a bit.

Starter motor problem is most likely - if its starting on a bump start and running ok its certainly a possibility and also a well known problem with the S2.
