G'Day All,
I have been having cold starting problems for the past month. The problem is intermittent and I don't know what triggers it. On some mornings, it takes about 10-15 cranking to start it. When it does start it runs like it's on 5 cylinders and then smoothes out in about 20 secs. On one occasion a heap of white/blue smoke pored out of the tailpipe. On each occasion there is a strong odour of fuel from the tail pipe. I think the engine gets flooded for some reason? I can only put it down to a bad temp sensor or leaking injector? Any ideas?

Cheers

TJ
