Hi My vl when cold is difficult to start, after about 2 minutes, it will actually start and run perfectly. Things that have been changed. New leads, New spark plugs, new distributor, new fuel pump, new fuel filter, air flow meter.

theres a cold start valve at the front of the inlet manifold. its sorta near the radiator hose it bolts on with a plug on top and a big long stem upwards. try that. starting to become a more common issue with vls a few mates have had this issue whereas before a few years ago i never even knew what one was.

That seems to have fixed it abit, but now when I start my car, it starts then dies after a couple of seconds, when I try and start it a couple of more times, it actually idles
