  • 1991 3.1 cold start issue

    Hello!

    Apologies for the double (now triple) post, I posted this in the "computer" section (and "general") as well... just don't know my way around here yet...

    1991 Lumina with 100,000 kms on it. In cool/cold weather, it needs to crank and crank prior to finally catching and starting, then may stall a few times. Needs to idle for a couple minutes, and then it's off to the races.

    I'm thinking coolant temp sensor but I'm open to suggestions from those more familiar with these systems. There is no other indications of fuel pressure problems, so I'm thinking the pump is ok. Filter is new. Warm starts and re-starts are no problem at all.

    I have searched the forums for similar issues and found 1, but there was no conclusive answer or follow up to it.

    Thanks!

    Brent.

    First off, welcome to the site. Sorry no one has replied to any of your threads yet.

    With that said, you can test your CTS if you have an ohmmeter. Follow the resistance values as shown here: http://60degreev6.com/content.php/15...nsor_.28CTS.29
