3 Weeks old and I start in the morning at 25DegC. Reverse out of drive way onto road. Stopped and get out. Clean off mildew 10 mins. Take shower 20 mins. Get in - START - Won't Fire. Fire- runs at 300 rpm or so. STOP - Wait 10 mins. START OK. 2 Days later, same thing happens. Fuel OK. Immobiliser OK. WHY?? Computer confused?? Can't turn off engine in the first minute?? Fast idle problem??<br>

Chris--<p>There was some discussion of this in the more distant archives--I'm not qualified to explain it for you mechanically, but you're not the only one. Something about "modern engines not designed to be started/stopped so quickly" or some kind of crap like that. Modern life includes lots of starts and stops, and these cars should be able to handle it!<br>See if you can find out if there was a resolution, way back in the archives.<p>By telling you that I've never experienced the problem, I'm guaranteeing myself problems down the road, but I wanted to ask if it was a 1.8T / 2.8?<p><br>Rich<br>'98 2.8Q sport
