    well not so much idle, but first thing in the morning she takes baout 3/4 times to get going then she is fine for the rest of the day, i even try reving her in morning a little bit but then when i take revs off she dies... its like she is not catching the revs for thos few times.

    ive now cleaned the icv, and throttle body
    put her on a reader and no codes were found plus all sensors said they were ready so no problems there??

    so i am baffled

    That induction kit may not be helping,as it doesn't look properly fitted.

    Tbh when you get a chance mate change it,because those pipercross suck in hot air and make a load of noise,but that's about it.they don't give any performance benefit.

    Go back to the standard air box,but fit an uprated air filter like a k+n or green air filter.

    Well the set up you linked to would be better than your open induction kit,i had a pipercross same as yours,and when i got round to going back to the original system the amount of crap in the foam filter was unreal.

    well after cleaning icv yesterday it seems to of done the trick, it only took two times to start instead of 4

    but i have found a new solution... if i blip the accelerator once before i try to turn it over then i have no problems???

    i wait for the pump to kick in every time i get in to car...
