Guys,
I think my car has developed an issue. Every 4th or so time staring my car it will crank, struggle to start and then conk out just as it was about to run. Then I re-crank it and it starts perfectly. The issue has been occurring more and more frequently over the past 6 months.
Also, i have noticed that my idle isn't as smooth as it should be. It almost splutters a little and the RPM needle jerks up and down slightly when at the stop light etc.
Anybody had any symptoms like this that could help me diagnose the issue?
I have no warning lights or anything on the dash. I thought it might be a clogged fuel filter however I've read that your car will run poorly during acceleration however mine is fine when you accelerate.
Regards

Even though the MIL is not illuminated, I'd pull codes anyhow. If there are no codes, then it could be a bad CPS, bad fuel pump, or clogged filter.
