Hello,
I have a 90 oldmobile eighty eight. The car starts right up and runs great when the weather is warm. Now that winter is here it take forever to start when it cold outside. Sometimes i have to crank it so long i have to throw a battery charger on it. It will crank and crank, and fire every once in a while. The long i crank it the closer together it will fire and eventually start. I can smell a slight hint of gas when doing this. I almost sure it the coolant temp sensor. I know that if it is bad, it will add a ton of fuel because it thinks it colder out than what it really is.
Are there more than one coolant temp sensors on this car, if so which do i replace? I think its the one underneather the throttle body. Just wanted some insight.
Also when it does start it runs rought for less than 5 seconds then its fine. Thanks
Also does anyone have a part number for autozone or anything like that?
