I second that...

should still start with a dodgy cts,would of said idle control valve but giving it a bit of throttle usually gets it to start.

have you done a compression test on it?

got a corsa redtop, and its a bitch to start in the cold.

to get it started i have to put it in gear with clutch engaged and turn her over so the car moves under starter motor. and then it will eventually start after a few attempts.

when i 1st start it t nearly kicks in but then gives up and just turns over under key.

will start fine once warmed up.

any ideas? cheers
