 Cold Start with Flooding
My turn for cold start issues... I got a '97 M-tech, M44 engine at the beginning of the summer, and it's been great to me. But since it's been dropping below freezing at night, my first start of the day is near impossible. It cranks fine, but seems to flood itself and just doesn't start. After letting it air out for 15 minutes, it manages to start, but with a lot to difficulty. The idle is LUMPY for about a minute, but will smooth out and run just fine. If there's any residual heat left, I can start it up easily for the rest of the day.
My Peake scanner only shows random misfires or a misfire on #3. I replaced the coil pack, wires, spark plugs, so ignition shouldn't be an issue. The battery is fine. Hoses are in good condition, and the intake boot from the MAF to the ASC throttle body has no cracks. The MAF is brand new. I am able to borrow parts from my other ti, a '98, which starts just fine.
Flooding on cold start, no helpful codes, runs fine when warm... Any suggestions? |
