Slow starting

[rayford]

Thanks Huck, I will try that, it's annoying to not have it start quickly, I am planning on putting a remote start on this one and it won't work if the car doesn't start fast,, Thanks again. Vernon

Well, Huck, I changed the temp. coolant sensor and that didn't seem to make a lot of difference,, the engine turns over fine, so it's not a battery or starter problem. It just takes several seconds to fire up. It runs fine out on the road,, any other ideas as to what might cause that. Thanks, Vernon

You did change the 2 wire sensor, not the one wire sensor correct? (the 1 wire just feeds the temp gauge)

Might clean your MAF, how old are the spark plugs?

[rayford]

it was the two wire one on the left rear of the engine, not sure about the plugs, I am going to have to change the cam cover gaskets so when I do that I will change the plugs at the same time. thanks for replying, Vernon

I hope you get it sorted out soon...

[rayford]

thank you,, it's not a real big issue unless I get a remote start installed and I will have to wait now till spring since I have no garage and the weather here in MO. is getting colder. thanks again
