Engine cut out

My car has been sitting cold for a few weeks on axle stands while I was waiting for the suspension to come back from Gaz. I haven't been here to start it every other day unfortunately.
I started it today, let it run until the temperature was upto just below half way and seemed fine.
All of a suden the car starts coughing and cuts out.
Is this something to worry about or any certain areas I should be looking at or could it just be because it hasn't been warmed up for a while?

Thanks in advance

Paul

Did the problem go away? If not, you've got something going on.

Sounds funny indeed! But if you're not using the car, why start it that often? Usually during the winter months I hardly start the car, or perhaps once every couple of months.

Just thought would be a good idea to start it and let it tick over for a while once a week really. Suspensions should be finished by Sunday anyway so going to give it a good run and if the problem continues I'll have to have a dig and see what might be causing it.
