Hi all,
I'm new to this site but I'm hoping a few of you can help me and I hope to be a regular poster!
Back to my problem though, I bought this lovely 1.7L Puma over a week ago:
It ran fine for the first day or two then I started getting very rough cold starts, when I start from cold it struggles for revs and power, sometimes I have to put my foot on the pedal a bit to force fuel into the engine to get it to start! This never happens when the engine is warm, only ever cold.
I replaced the spark plugs and coil pack two days ago, this has not helped. A friend plugged his diagnostic computer into it and we got two error codes that translate to a cylinder 1 & 2 miss-fire.
Can anybody help? I have a video of the start up, you can hear how rough it sounds, I have to give it a couple of revs before it stabilizes, the moment it does stabilize you cvan hear it suddenly sounds sweeter.

As a side note, it has a full service history and neither that or the MOT have any advisory's/changes that would seem to link to this problem.
