Re: starting trouble, not firing all cylinders

Found something. On the Red blocks the temperature switch initiates the cold start process. If the temperature switch is defective the cold engine would be trying to start on the warm start process. Other components involved in the cold start process are ECU, Frequency valve and Thermal time switch...

Re: starting trouble, not firing all cylinders

I believe this engine will have a cold start injector and cold start relay to provide extra fuel when it is cold. The cold start relay may be bad or the temperature sensor for the cold start system may be bad. Do you have a service manual for this B21F K-jet? Also, if this car sat idle for many mon...

starting trouble, not firing all cylinders

Sometimes on cold start I will turn the key to start and I will hear the engine fire once and then it will die. It will continue to do this multiple times unti...
