I'm pretty certain it was an over fueling issue, so maybe I need to do some searching as to the cause.

It did happen 8 months ago in a car park, and after I left it half an hour it started. It was a similar problem.

I wonder how the coolant sensor could cause over fueling?

cheers all

Coolant temp sensor provides the ecu with temp data to allow the fueling to be richened in cold temps to assist starting/running. If it’s feeding duff data then the engine will be running extremely rich, causing bore wash, plug fouling etc.
