Difficulty starting sometimes

Hi All
I have an issue whereby mine seems tricky to start sometimes. I turn the key it semi catches but splutters and dies. If however i use a bit of throttle and turn the key she starts no problem all the time. Idle seems ok. About 1k when cold 500-750 when warm. When AC compressor kicks in revs drop for a split second to very low and then the engine compensates which im sure is normal.

Just annoying with the difficulty in starting sometimes. I know a guy with a silver SC version and his has done the same, is it just a characteristic of the V8?

No, seriously..... Possibly the Fuel Rail getting too hot ??

She sometimes does it from cold though. Its odd. Huge smell of fuel when she does fire too. Sounds electrical but have MSD's etc. Might pull a plug or 2 and have a look.

The plug colour tells a lot ;)

Plugs are very low priced to replace.
