Impreza_WRX_STi Posted December 12, 2003 Share Posted December 12, 2003 I put in the engine coolant temp sensor, and my car does the same thing? It is really hard to start on mornings, always when it is cold. I will let it turn over up to 10 times and it mights stumble, but not start at all and then when I release the key it backfires. This happens maybe 2 times a morning, then I try it again, and it won't even click over. So then I usually wait 5-10 minutes and can usually get it after a few tries. Maybe it's the mileage. I have a MY93 Impreza L 4EAT EJ18, w/ 206,000 miles Any help woul be great! Max Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cougar Posted December 12, 2003 Share Posted December 12, 2003 I'm not sure why you thought changing the temperature sensor would help this problem. Your car may have a cold start valve and that would be a good possibility, if it does. How are your plugs and wires? These could be a problem if they are old. Since you are getting a backkfire, you should check your timing. The problem with the no starter action may be due to bad battery connections, worn starter solenoid contacts, or worn brushes.
