does anyone have any ideas? when i try to start my car it just doesnt start the first time i kick it over, starts then stalls straight away the second time, and i can get it goin the third try if i rev it heap straight after it starts. it used to start on the second try but now only third, so its getting worse. oh and it starts fine after its warmed up, the problem only exists when the engine is cool. but its becoming a pain. cheers.

maybe hold the ignition on for 2 or 3 secs, then turn it over
