SevenSisters Posted April 1, 2005 Share Posted April 1, 2005 Do a search for codes and Legacy777. Should turn up what you need to do. You can do it without any tools! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tcspeer Posted August 21, 2005 Share Posted August 21, 2005 I would think it must have something to do with I.A.C. being it runs fine after warming up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gnuman Posted August 22, 2005 Share Posted August 22, 2005 Only missing when it is started? that sounds like a faulty temp sensor (the two wire one that feeds the ECU) giving false readings that say that the engine is already warm, when it is not. Just a wild guess though, without the codes in question. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Legacy777 Posted August 22, 2005 Share Posted August 22, 2005 I would think it must have something to do with I.A.C. being it runs fine after warming up. More then likely the coolant temp sensor is bad. It's almost a tell-tale sign that the CTS is bad when the car runs bad when cold but ok when warmed up, or vice-versa.
