cold stalling issue


Recommended Posts

Posted

So the car starts up right away every time, always, however when it hasnt warmed up yet and I try to take off from a stop it wants to bog down and stall. When it does, it doesn't start right back up, it cranks for a while and kinda tries a bit, and then finally fires up with a little bit of grunting. Once it warms up it's completely fine. It seems to me like its some kind of fuel delivery problem, maybe a grumpy fuel pump?

Prolly the coolant temp sensor.

 

Scan tool will tell you if its reading something like 0 degrees when its cold when its really like 40 degrees.

I had a similar problem when my CTS quit working. It was reading like -140* and wouldn't start.

yeah, sounds like it could be it, definitely have an intermittent light, but never caused any problems before. I'll replace it, but hopefully I can get to and from work the next 3 days until I have a chance to replace it.
