Helo from a new member. Fiited a new starter motor to my 8v anniversary started on the the button for first day or so. Went for a long drive and then stalled at a set of lights and difficult to start as if engine flooded. Got runing again after a few minute break then stalled at a junction. Left the car parked up for a few hours. Very difficult to start; engine turning over but not firing taking 10 to 20 secs to finally start up but seemed flooded. Nursed it home but next morning very difficult to start and only fired when foot to floor.
Over the last few months have fitted new crank sensor and temp sensor. No fault codes showing. Check temp readings on air temp sensor against diagnostics and readings the same. Where would you reccommend I start to cure my problem. I have a Hitachi air mass sensor date stamped 1996 could this need replacing? Had the plugs out and they are black sooty so seems mixture runing too rich? Ant ideas or sugegstions very much appreciated. Use a Skyes & Pickard fault finding kit with VAG module.

Look forward to your replies really dont want to replace my car love the Mk 3 Anniversary too much but want to cure the niggling electrical faults so joned your club oh and I have been reading every conceivable forum on the web and not found anything related to poor starting on AGG mostly read about intermittent stalling etc hope soemone can help and I apologise for long winded message x
