VW b5.5 2003 2.8 v6 allmotion automatic

P0430 code catalyst in both banks

When cold have to crank car several times to start it thought might be coolant temp sensor or sparks and coils

Check engine light is not on

Runs smooth doesnt seem to have lost any power

Where should look???

 

Thank you in advance

Try turning the ignition switch to the run position for 3-4 seconds, then off. Do this 4-5 times quickly and then try to start the car. Let us know if it starts immediately or still takes several long cranks.
