not always starting first time



  VW Potato


if its very cold in the morning, the clio starts up fine.

if its very warm, it starts fine.

but if its just so-so, it doesnt fire on the first turn of the key (in the morning). i guess that its not too sure whether it should be fully enriched (as per a cold day) or only partially?

Also, would this be linked to that hesitancy i know that some of our cars have for the first few seconds when driven off from cold?

Thoughts?

70% of the time when first starting in the morning, mine takes 2 or sometimes 3 times to get started, this is a known immobiliser issue apparently. Another trip to Renault...

thanks!

i dont know why, but i don think this is immobilliser related - it only happens in the morning on the first start of the day when the weather is so-so. I think its an enrichment issue that might be related to that cold start hesitancy some of us have.
