poor cossie starting (again)
since the mega hot weather my car has started not staring very well,
there is fuel & spark and it does try to run, but you have to hold it on the key turning over nearly running for a good few seconds.... it used to be literally turn over once and it was away.
last month it had a new ECT and phase sensor and the plugs are only 1500 miles old - once started if you stop it again, it does fire up straight away, any obvious ones....? cheers.

its fookin cut out now 3 times on the way home - just dies away, then the rev counter needle goes to about 500 rpm as you crank it but not firing, then after about 5 mins stood, it fires with a big bang!!
TDC sensor anyone...?

ive ordered one from GGR, asap,
anyone any mor clues as to what else to check for, done all the obvious ones
