I have a Skoda Felicia 1.6 l . Problem to start cold engine. It starts, but stops immediately, new attempt, starts but stops. After 5 -6 try, I'll go if I do not touch the accelerator. When the engine gets hot, no problem. What to do?

Check the temperature coolant sensor.

Thanks. Do you know where this sensor is located? I'm not the owner of the car, but I ask for a friend's behalf. We live in Sweden, so if you think my english is a little weird it depends on google translation.

@Haj - This is technically off-topic, but I have seen stuff by native English speakers who write far worse than you do.

Haj, your Google translator works well. I second Ken's opinion, there are native English speakers (?) on this forum that murder their language and they're proud of that.

 

The sensor is located on the thermostat housing. It has a yellow collar.

 

Thank You very much. We will check out asap!

You don't have to touch the accelerator to cold start any car. 

True if ones that you do not have to,

but  not of those back in the day that you had to to set the choke. They were 'Any cars'.

@Offski

I was (obviously) referring to cold start procedure indicated by the manufacturer, which states (for 30+ yo cars) to manually set the choke and not touch the accelerator. My previous statement didn't (obviously) take into account the HillyBilly redneck procedure of pumping mad the accelerator for having no clue there is a button/lever labeled "Choke" or for not knowing how to read the user's manual...

After pull out chokes / hand bag holders there were cars with carbs and Auto Chokes that you floored the accelerator once. 

 

Nothing to do with Red-neck procedures, that was the manufacturers procedure,  as designed.

I am well aware of the history of car fuel systems. Having to pull the choke or press accelerator once (like in my Felicia) to activate the semi-automatic choke before actually cranking the engine for a cold start, has nothing to do with my initial statement. I repeat: according to car manufacturers you don't have to pump the accelerator during or after cranking the engine on any car. Otherwise we can play semantics all day long.

I just read where you said 'you do not have to touch the accelerator to start any car'. 

 Never read anything about pumping, which is why i posted my words.

Thanks for any help. The sensor has changed and now the car starts without any problems!
