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 GlennBeasley Chrysler Tech "Dodgem33" > wrote in message ... > When the temp drops below 40deg F, it won't start.

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????
