Hi
Left my corolla at the airport for a few weeks(not much petrol in tank)
Refused to start with jump box, connected to running car then fired but no idle. Once warmed up temp gauge bit below normal mid point.
Maybe 2 problems: hard to crank & rough idle?
Any ideas or web links?
Thanks Alan

Hi there,
It sounds like you may need a new battery, idle control cleaned or set, it also may be that your cooling system thermostat could be stuck open and your vehicle not getting hot enough and taking too long to get warm, so the cold start system is on for a long time.
It could be a combination of problems or just one simple fix.
I definitely recommend to get a technician to look at your vehicle, to get it sorted.
