89 rs 305 tbi 5 speed. car wont start when at normal operating temperature. cranks just fine, but wont start. it smell likes its flooding so i pulled the connectors of the injectors and sure enough it seemed to be flooded. it started and then died due to the connectors being off, so i put them back on. and it wouldn't start. i've just replaced in the hunt to fix this problem, coil(twice) ingnition module(twice) and new plugs, wires, cap and rotor. now i'm lost, damn thing starts just fine when its cold. but i dont know what else to do.

 

That sounds like it's time to throw a coolant temp sensor at it. Do you have access to a scan tool?

 

i just replaced that. and its still doin it>> any other ideas

 

check for spark too the modules like to fail under high engine temps alot

 

unless the car start immediatly after unplugging the injector

 

its definatly one of your sensors...when the engine is cold, the computer disregards all sensor data...if it isnt your coolant temp sensor you should try testing the MAP sensor...if you have a manual it tells you how

 

same thing happened to me untill i talk to one of my friends about it....he said it was the starter, the starter heats up and it causes it not to be able to crank...i didnt believe him or anything and i still think it was a crock of sh*t but when ever i had my starter relocated it hasnt done this since....

 

Huh? I think you're confusing the O2 sensor with every other sensor. The only sensor that isn't used during open loop operation is the O2...

BTW, his problem is that it's flooding. I believe it is cranking just fine. Different problem.

 

does the car ever hesitate? if it does, have the fuel pressure checked.

i had a problem like this on my old rs and, believe it or not, it was the fuel pump
sounds crazy, but the car started fine when cold, but would not start when normal temp. then it ran perfectly after the f/pump was replaced

 

well i download winaldl and built the cable, anyone wish to help me via phone to figure out what the hell is going on with my car. i also wonder if the thermostat is sticking open and causing the problem. takes along time to warm up.
