Cold Start problems

Anybody have cold start problems and a list of possible fixes? My 92 is very cold blooded! I've replaced the coolant temp sensor and checked the throttle position sensor. Plugs are new and the airfilter is clean. Any ideas? Also how does one pull up the codes for the ECU? And is there a list of codes for the OBD I systems?

Thanks in advance!

Norm

For a list of codes and instructions check either the how-to documents or my site: http://svx-iw.com/ (click on codes)

What exactly is your car doing when you try to start it?

Cold start

Fires very briefly and cranks and cranks and cranks.......If I hold the floor feed to just about WOT it fires. Does this 9 times out of ten. Started like it was new this morning (28 degrees). No Check Engine Light and no codes.

Cold Start

Yep
I Just put $18 worth of BG in the last 5 gallons of gas in the tank and drove it like I stole it. No difference

You replaced the coolant sensor with a NEW one right?

What happens if you leave the battery disconnected overnight?
