Thanks for the Replies, Phantmxr6, I have tried the foot flat to the floor trick, is the car actually suppose to start? (I thought it wasn't poor car and the big rev at start up) Superdan, It is a BA MkII (2004), it has been tuned but has no other mods. It has the 4-Speed Auto in it, Fuel = BP Ultimate. My housemate did give me a idea, with the cooler thermostat the choke / auto-choke could still be on (Althought I doubt this is the case) Although, from memory when the issue happens the car is idling at the normal rev range. The feeling when the car does this and you brake is as if the gear doesn't want to dis-engage so obviously you have to use more brake. Does anyone know what the error codes are on this car from the beeps it gives? Thanks, Chris
