Yes.

Chances are the ECU thinks the engine is cold all the time due to a faulty sensor or assosciated wiring problem. Hence it will run you at fast idle and add extra fuel until it thinks you are warmed up.

Sort the temp sensor problem and hopefully you'll start running properly.

I'm not sure if it would stop it starting totally. I suggest you sort this and see if it does. :wink:
If it doesn't, then do another fault code check to make sure there isn't anything else.
