Hopefully this should be a simple one for you guys to answer! I serviced the car two months ago including new plugs, oil/air filter. I accidently drained the battery at the same time (maybe related).
Since then the car starts fine but then immediately starts to cough and splutter for approx 1 minute - then fine. This happens whenever the car has been left for approx 2 hours or more. I initially thought coilpack and replaced - I was wrong. Problem still there.
Help!
PS. Does paperclip test work on my car. I'm sure I read somewhere that it does not.

no, no paperclip for you sorry, or pedal trick :'(
Got to be a real code reader, if you update your profile to include your location, someone may be able to help you out.
Not sure on your problem though :-/

Hi all,
I've got more updates on this problem which is still not sorted! Please help!
The car has trouble starting. Almost certainly fuel related. It starts almost immediately but spluttering. When you press the accelerator it conks out unless you ease it in gently. This lasts for a few minutes (i guess until the engine heats up) then all is fine. Although it lacks power when out driving - not considerably. It will still cruise along at 70.
Anyway, I had it plugged in and have a list of codes for you to look at. Since these codes were taken I have replaced coil pack, crankshaft sensor and post cat lambda - no difference.
P0170 Fuel Correction (bank1 malfunction)
P0036 Oxygen Sensor Heater (bank 1 sensor 2)
P0700 Transmission Control System
P0650 Malfunction Indicator Control Circuit
P0141 02 Sensor Heater Circuit (bank 1 sensor 2)
Any pointers appreciated!

Just a quick follow up.
Would the egr valve be worth looking at? If so, where would I find it! And what about the MAF?
