Solved. Page 4 post 80.
90 745 lh2.4, I'm not near the car but have been having issues as of Monday morning. I'm just posting to see if anyone has other ideas I could dig into when I get time.
Monday 6am; it's 33? outside and the car won't start. It cranks fine, battery seems strong, and it wants to fire but will not stay running. Might have one or two chugs but that's it. Took 10 minutes till it fired and when it did start seemed like nothing is wrong.
Same story for Tuesday morning before work, and literally everyday after except for Friday. I didn't have work and didn't go to start the car tI'll 11am ish and it was 55-60?, started fine with no issue.
No CEL and no codes stored, and it *seems* to only happen on a long sit overnight and it's below 40 degrees or so. The car can sit for 10 hours while I'm at work, be 45 degrees at 5pm and it'll start no problem..so this is why I'm questioning my theory of ECT failure.
Any suggestions?
I did notice my fuel pump relay might of been flaky, didn't hear the pump turn on every time I urned the key to ON , swapped with a new one and I now hear the pump prime every time but still no start
