Thumbs up Good luck

Hi there. Good luck to you getting a reply or help to your problem. I posted an almost similar problem with my car some time back,but received no help accept some comments from similarly fraustrated new members.
My car won't stay started unless my foot is on the accelarator for about 4-5 mins,till it warms up. It all started when i disconnected the battery to remove a dead rat underneath the battery. After that, the engine didn't reset itself.
So if you haven't sorted it out by now, start the car,keep the revs at 1000rpm for about 2-3mins,slowly easing off on the rpm,till the temp gauge indicates a raise. Then move off your foot,try engaging gear and it might stay on. I do that all the time when i want to go anywhere. Good luck.
