   I'm sick to my stomach trying to fix these issues at the moment! ok here's the issues.
   
   on cold start the car takes ages to fire, and won't idle unless I give it throttle.
   If I fit a brand new icv, it will start but rev to 3k rpm and won't settle.
   
   What I've changed:
   ICV
   Map sensor
   Temperature sensor
   TPS
   .
   To add this starting happening when the cold weather hit, the weather has also took a hit on my battery, causing me to jump start it every morning

   I'm currently doing lots of reading on every symptom I have, I also have a rotten egg smell coming from my exhaust, which means buggered lambda sensor, I also have a blow from my manifold which isn't helping

   Whip the plugs out,chances are they're soaked in fuel which says to me that you're overfuelling.

   Yep found the problem, my standalone predator ecu, standard ecu on, fires first turn of the key, idles and revs fine, and this was late at night with temps in the - .
