Not used it much over winter but when starting it, it will fire but instantly stall unless I keep it going with throttle, after about 15 secs its perfect. Feels like its starting on a couple of cylinders then the rest join in. Is this common? only just started doing it, but then again I normally use it more often.
My random thoughts are plug fouling? coil packs are good, or fuel pressure?.

If it was OK before, maybe just needs using and a fresh tank of VPower?

I had a similar problem with warm starts. Turned out to be the solenoid...

First step is to pull the fault codes with durametric or a generic code reader.

I rather suspect lazy coil packs if it's not starting on all cylinders, but it could be other things.

Found the thread for my issue:

*edit: just the clutch position sensor bit was what I think may be applicable - the 'sploding engine is unrelated to your issue!
