Hello Paul,

When you say "catch it" do you mean that the engine splutters as if it's firing on only one or two cylinders? If so I doubt it's the camshaft sensor. When mine suffered a poor connection recently there was absolutely no sign of life from the engine at all.

I wouldn't put too much emphasis on the engine starting normally when warm. Cold starts require perfect engine tune so if there's any defect, however small, that's when it will make itself known.

As you have the orange clip, why not lift the back seat and see if the filter canister can be tightened. It would be unwise to discount it.

Simon
