hi all,

i have had this issue a couple of times since buying s40 t4 on 7th july.

car struggles to start and has even cut out. re-try and a couple of pumps on gas pedal keeps it running - will run rough for a couple of seconds then runs fine.

99.9% car starts on first turn of key. this only seems to happen if i have put redex or similar injector / fuel system cleaner in the fuel.

guess the lesson is dont use that stuff - anything more serious to worry about?

I've just had a similar problem with my 1998 s40. would struggle to start and then lost all power and then the power came back. Check the ignition coils. Had both of mine replaced and the car is fine now. :57:
