My 2.0 Petrol starts up, runs for say 30 sec, then starts running on 3 (or maybe even 2?) cylinders closeley followed by the antipollution alarm bleeping frantically. The only way I've found to overcome this is to switch the car off and leave for 30min or so and try again. This only seems to happen when it's 5-10 deg C outside.
(The fault indicator takes a few days to clear, but I think that's related to the number of on/off cycles for the engine)
This has happened occasionally from new, the car is 5 years old now with
113,000 miles on the clock.Anyone any ideas or experiences? Thanks Nick
