I didn't have the problem with my old Jimny and the dealer is suggesting they all do it, they won't scan for fault codes. I am going to try a more local dealer as its obviously under warranty.
I wondered if any one on here has any ideas that I could suggest to them when I take it in.
Cheers

Just tell them your problem and to repair it, they are legally bound to rectify faultts under warranty.

Because it is intermitent the dealer is having problems diagnosing the problem.
I can reduce the frequency by turning the ignition on and waiting for the lift pump to stop, but it is still doing it once a week or so particularly in cold weather. Yesterday I had to crank it three times before it caught and then it ran for five seconds or so, very lumpy and wouldn't rev.
Adam - any news on yours?
