Hi ltteh,just a quick thought.If the air intake temperature sensor cable has been cut i'm afraid you won't be able to delete the fault.The ECU needs to get a signal from all sensors but if the cable has been cut it will continue to show a fault.
On another note you said the car had been stood for 4 months.That would take us back to October when the weather was milder and slightly drier than now.Now the colder weather is here you can get the crap cold start running issues.
