I would agree with Bill - overfuelling. Had the same happen to me about 4 weeks ago. 2002 2.5 V6. Had moved it a couple of days previously (running for about 2 minutes) and then not touched it for 2 days. Would not start but did turn over. Orange clip already fitted. Called the AA and after flattening the cars battery and one of his own on attempted starts managed to get it moving albeit reluctantly. After a few minutes on fast tick over ran smoothly as usual and has not given any trouble since. He described the problem as bore wash as did my local X Part dealer.
