Polo Vivo Won't Start When Cold by mikaeellum: 10:11am On Jul 20, 2016
My polo vivo fails to start when it's cold but starts after kick starting it. The battery reads at 14V+ when car is on and 13V+ when car is off.
After kick starting it the car revs up then dies unless I press the throttle 20% for a minute then car stays on but when I press the throttle it drops the rev's as if its going to switch off. When driving the car after leaving it to warm up I'm at 4000RPM then put the car in neutral the rev's stay at 4000RPM unless I put it into gear then all is okay. When the car is idling it idles below 1000RPM but then drops even lower causing the car then automatically rev up just passed the 1000RPM mark then comes down again then will rev again over 1000RPM then come down because it drops very low. Any suggestions as to what it is? I was thinking the temp sensor because my citi golf started to do the same thing and I unplugged the temp sensor then started the golf and perfect. My Polo injectors were checked as well as the compression and all fuses. Please help?

your English is something else, I can't comprehend. However, go and scan your vehicle.
