My 95 legacy 2.2 has a random no start issue...no real pattern..will start fine,the when you go to start it again,no go...turns over fine.Figuring fuel or ignition problem.Car runs fine otherwise.This was a problem from the previous owner,so i don't have allot of history..any thoughts on where to start?

Also,i have the hill holder unhooked.Is there any adjustments that need to be made so the brakes dont drag? In other words does the HH need to be hooked up? thanks.

Waited about ten minutes..car started right up...

I had this exact problem with a 2.2 swap I did a few years ago.

 

He tried both sensors (cam and crank) with used ones I had and I believe he did cam first and after crank no more problems.

 

Crank sensors can be hard to remove here in the rust belt though.

mine had the same problem and i changed the idle air control valve and it stopped.....

In addition to the above items, the engine coolant temperature sensor can cause this sort of problem, but I think usually it is the other way around (wont start when cold, but will when warm).

Im going to try the IAC first. The car does a weird low to 1300-1500 rpms when its first started..revs up and down exactly 5 times before it settles in,every time.Thanks for the tips!

if it revs like that it is the iac.... i got a junkyard one and it cured the no start problem but now evey once in awhile it revs up and down just like you stated.....its like a $300 part btw

 

hope that solves the problem

You might start by removing your old IACV and giving it a thorough cleaning. The only new part you'd need is a small gasket. Clean the rubber tube from the PCV too, and maybe get a new PCV.

 

Good luck.
