[Euro] Hard Starting Problem

[V205]

Do you wait a few seconds in the key-turn stage II? It primes up the fuel pump first... THEN turn to stage III which turns the engine.

EDIT: wouldn't hurt to step on the gas a bit too when cranking too if it still doesn't like to start

One thing my dad once told me was NEVER touch the accelerator pedal when starting an EFI car (he is a motor mechanic). I'll ask him why next time I see him.

I have been told that pumping the accelerator while starting may affect the way the cars computer interprets its diagnostics for startup. Not sure how much of it is true?
I'm keen to find out why you don't do this to an EFI car?

The Euro has DBW so would it do anything anyway? ..until the engine is actually running off course.

If I recall correctly, the manual says it de-floods the engine, or something along those lines.

dont belive DBW is the culprit. i've other cars with DBW, no such problems.
