    My VT did this the other day... after not been started for about 5 week's. Very strange.. but hasent done it again, hope my fuel pump isn't about to go, I hear it is costly.

    Might be worth giving your Throttle body a clean.
    If it's not a Symptom its not relevant, and if its not relevant I don't care!
