I start the car which is fine the starter motor is fine. then almost immediately the engine gives out almost as though it has no petrol in it even though it has. Once its been running for 5 minutes its fine. I can stop the car turn it off and restart again with no problems its just the first 5 minutes while the engine is cold.Please help

Get the coolant temp switch checked as well as this could cause you similar problems.
