1975 Ljet 1.8l. The car starts and runs fine in cold weather. When it is warm, the engine cranks and cranks and will not start. Use a little starting fluid, it starts, but unless I keep my foot on the accelerator, it will stall until it warms up. Head temperature sensor???

It was around 54 degrees yesterday when I checked the sensor. It was 36 this morning and it fired up no problem. Something is preventing the engine from getting enough fuel to start on a warm day.

Or is your Cold Start Valve giving you extra gas on a cold day? I guess I mean maybe you aren't getting enough fuel from your injectors at any outside temperature and your Cold Start Valve makes things work when it is active? I suppose the same thoughts work for too much air (vacuum leak) all the time and the Cold Start Valve is giving you the extra fuel needed. |
