1.8 8v starting problem

When cold doesn't want to start, will turn over fire up rev to over 1000rpm thn just die and will continue to do this until it starts to get some heat in the engine.

when running to start with the throttle doesn't want to work it sounds as if it runs on 2 then 3 then when the 4th kicks in it revs freely but take your foot off and it will want to die again.

when finally running it has very little power and when tryin to pull away will stall unless reving very high. after a couple of miles drivin and there is soe hat in the engine it is fine.

any sggestions would be great im thinking possibly 5th injector??

cheers rob

this could be the wur, I had the same symptoms when mine went bad. however you really want to get the fuel pressure tested otherwise you can spend forever and lots of money chasing a problem around.
