Re: starting problem

When the engine is cold, I have to go WOT in order for the car to start. If I don't floor the pedal, I have to crank it off and on for a good 15 minutes. It throws a check engine light, but doesn't give any codes other than the usual code 12 or whatever it is that tells you it's in diagnostic mode. When the car is warm it has no problems. I'm not sure if this car has a secondary fuel pump, but that is about the only thing I can think of as failing. Anyone have any ideas?

Thanks,

Chris, I would bet on a bad coolant temp sensor. They're about $25 from the dealer and take all of 5 minutes to replace.
