Difficult to start, then when it does the clock resets
Got a new battery and cleaned the connections has not helped. I have to, pump the accelerator pedal when starting, to get the engine to turn over. Had new coils fitted to stop misfiring - this still happens occasionally. New Gear box. Timing belt. Air and fuel filters. Alternator was check by the garage who said it was fine. The engine management light is on but it has been for 4 years.

You have done a lot...how about the fuel injectors...and bad/old gas in the tank...has your car been parked for awhile? I would add 2 bottles of liquid HEET to disolve the sludge...and add 2 bottles of gas tank fuel injector cleaner...I like the Lucas Oil
Brand...Hope this helps.
Forgot to say along with all the rest had a new crank position sensor put in about 3 months ago. Will go with the sludge and injector cleaner and hopefully that might help. thanks again.
Thanks for your response...:)
