Hi Jon
I got the IP tested and repaired (replaced timing control valve) last Dec. After doing this I traced the starting problem to a poor connection on the spill valve. Occasionally it has cut out since but after giving the plug a wiggle it's fine. I resented paying Toyota 100's to repair a poor connection and I was a bit apprehensive about doing a bodge. Still the symptoms now feel like fuel or air starvation. Although I haven't ruled out the pump.
Typical I sold my other car just two weeks ago, so the LC is my only car for now!
