Cold start problems and stalling
Cold start problems and stalling
When its really cold, like 35 or below, my TA takes a little longer to crank than on warm days. The first time it starts-it cuts out immediatly. Then I crank it again-still turns over longer but then it starts and usually runs fine. Not a huge deal. It also stalls at stoplight somtimes too. Starts right back up when warm.
I bought this car from some bum who didnt take care of it and ive got all the problems worked out except this stalling deal.
I recently replaced the -wires, cap/rotor,pickup coil, ignition module, ignition coil, coolant temp sensor, ECM, and i have new plugs and a new fuel filter to put in yet. NO trouble codes.
If anyone has any suggestions Ill gladly try them out.

That should make it a TPI, and if my memory is any good, it should still have a cold start injector.
Important stepd would be to verify adequate fuel pressure, inspect for and repair any vacuum leaks, clean the throttle body and IAC passages/control valve, check/set the minimum air position, and set the TPS voltage.
Since you are not getting error codes, it is less likely that you have a problem with the CTS, but you might want to measure the resistance at a known temperature anyway, just to verify its correct operation.

That is correct. The car is 350 TPI with the cold start injector.
I replaced the fuel filter and performed all the adjuments to the IAC that i found in your article Mr. Vader and that seems to have taken care of the problem. Thanks for the help.
