Hello there.
Just a quick one.
For some time now my car is causing issues. If I fail to start the car on the first key turn, sometimes it can result in it taking a few seconds of constently turing the engine over to get it started.
When this happens it causing the car to race but when you press the accelerator you think it was gonna die.
It usually takes a few minutes to 'clear the pipes' as it were for the car to run smoothly. It appears that the car gets flooded if it doesn't start after the first go. I think I can trace it back to a moment when I ran out of petrol. I know, in this day and age, but I over shot one morning and got caught out. Could this be the cause.
It should also be noted that it is more prone to this issue at anytime. Even more so when I have driven home from work (30mins) and need to go back out again. It appears that the warmer the engine the more prone it is.
Anyway has anyone had a similar issue?
