Hi,
thought i'd start a new thread as I could not update the title on the previous one.
Firstly i would like to thanl morgenster, whiskychaser and bubba for their input.

To cut a long story short, yesterdays temperature was around 16 to 18 degrees c and my car would not start at all. It started up once, coughed like an asthmatic and then would not start at all the whole night no matter how long I tried.
The day before it was warmer and the car started fine and I drove it around for a while.
Today, the temperature was about 24 degrees c. I was going to fiddle with the car after getting input from the 3 guys above. However thought I would try to start it first. It fired the first time after cranking for about 5 - 7 seconds. I let it idle.
Now I dont know if I am, but while the temp was still in the blue zone, I felt that the rpm dipped down abit everytime these was a strong breeze. It still managed to maintain idle. I drove it for about 10 mins and then switched it off. I tried starting it again and it fired right up.
i dont know whats happening to my car. Winter is coming soon and it is going to get alot colder than yesterday.
thanks
