Hello again
So yesterday I removed and cleaned the ICV as suggested. Looked fine tbh, but best to rule it out. Also replaced the MAP sensor again in case the replacement one had failed (it was just a cheapish one from the local motor factors). Started the car no problems following this, drove perfectly, I was happy...
Then this morning it was back to turning over for ages before eventually spluttering into life. Running out of ideas now!
How does the immobiliser work on a phase 3? If it doesn't recognize the key does it turn over at all? Just wandering if it cuts the spark to stop the car starting, or whether it would be fuel, or just not turn over at all...
