Default 1995 Concorde 3.5 Cold start problem

When the temp drops below 40deg F, it won't start. Been chasing this for
year and about out of ideas.There no codes. Once it is started it runs great
and after the first start of the day, it will start all day long. If you
hold the throttle wide open, sometimes it will sputter and start and appears
to be rich and will run normally once running. Took it to the dealer for
computer trouble shooting nothing but $45.00 for the hookup no problems they
could find. I have checked or replaced the following:
All vacuum hoses
Ck'd the electrical connections
Replaced both 02, MAP, Intake air sensors and cleaned the butterfly and
injectors.
Throttle position and idle speed motor cks out electrically.

Any thoughts or suggestions would be appreciated.

For a cold start problem you may want to make sure the coolant Temp sensor
is reading properly. if it is cold outside and the sensor is reading hot you
will have a hard time getting it started, Leave the car overnite for a cold
scan test with a scanner

first check vacum to see if it's below 15 hg this might help decide if the
timing belt is off. does the cruise lite come for no reason????
if it is i would look at the map sensor operation again and then i would take a
heat gun to the puter and warm it up and if it works more better then on cold
starts then you are in the ballpark. what about the coolant temp sensor????

I'm having a similar problem with a 93 3.3 Please let us know if the
coolant temperature sensor replacement solved your problem.

thanks,
Nick
