RE: Hard Staring in Cold Weather

You may also want to check your mixture, if you are running on the rich side
it will start harder on cool mornings and idle rough till the motor warms
up. Also check your temp sensor, when mine went bad the car started hard
becuase it wasnt telling the computer that the motor was cold. HTH

Subject: Hard Staring in Cold Weather


Lately I've been having trouble starting my 16v in cool weather. If the
tempurature outside is above about 60 degrees or the car hasn't been sitting
long in cool weather it will fire right up. But, if the temp. outside is
below 60 and the car has been sitting for a while (overnight) I have to
crank it for about 2-3 minutes before the car will start. 2-3 minutes is a
long time to crank on a car before it will start. What can my problem be? I
tested the cold start valve, like the Bentley says, and it is working fine.
I fear that one day my car won't start! Any ideas about what is happening?
It idles crappy too. Could these problems have something to do with each
other? TIA
