Running Rough, Starting & Power Loss
I have recently bought a 2000 vauxhall tigra 1.4 which runs fine but first start of the day never seems to be very good as it turns over quite a while and i have been pumping the accelerator to try and catch it which results in a smell of petrol,I have changed plugs abd leads but without success.it usually starts quite well afterwards.Can anyone suggest a possible cause please?

coolant temp sensor is quite a common fault on these as well as idle control valves which can get clogged up,most of the time you can remove and clean out

thankyou for that info about the problem with the coolant temp sensor on my vauxhall tigra and since the weather has warmed up it has started perfectly but i have bought a new sensor but cannot see the old one.Could someone please tell me where this is located looking from the front of the engine towards the back of the car as i cannot find it.Many thanks
