schspeedster Posted March 18, 2005 Share Posted March 18, 2005 1993 EJ22 4EAT - From a cold start (30-35F), it cranks, but doesnt want to start until I hold the accelerator down while cranking. Does this indicate a flooding condition, or cold start injector not delivering gas? Starts & runs fine rest of the day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Legacy777 Posted March 18, 2005 Share Posted March 18, 2005 probably is the coolant temp sensor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beezer Posted March 18, 2005 Share Posted March 18, 2005 Is the check engine light on? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
schspeedster Posted March 19, 2005 Author Share Posted March 19, 2005 Is the check engine light on? No Check Engine light. Hold accel down while cranking from cold start, starts right up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SevenSisters Posted March 19, 2005 Share Posted March 19, 2005 I agree with your assesment of flooding. Holding down the accelerator dumps xs gas. Could your injectors be leaking down overnite causing a "flooded" condition? Somebody jump in here. Hook up a pressure gauge overnite?

beezer Posted March 19, 2005 Share Posted March 19, 2005 The reason I asked about the check engine light is because from what I have seen is the coolant temp. sensor is a common problem. With my car the fuel purge solenoid and the air control valve were acting up and I would have to do exactly as you have said. My check engine light would come on so I don't really know if this is the same problem not. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Legacy777 Posted March 19, 2005 Share Posted March 19, 2005 The coolant temp sensors can be out of whack and not have the CEL come on.....it's a $20 item.....replace.....I bet it'll fix your problem. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
