Another Car starting issues... ( have searched.)
I know you guys are sick of the car starting issues.. but i cant figure it out and i have searched. so here we go..
in the mornings or when the engine is completly cold sitting for hours.. it doesnt want to start for a while.. it sounds like it doesnt even have spark. it cranks and cranks and cranks.. some times the battery dies before the car even starts.. and when it does try to start it gets spark and kind of starts get to like 200rpm then just quickly dies. ( like it wanted to just didnt have enough compression or something.) once haveing it doing this acouple times it finaly get enough compression ( im guessing) and i have to hit the gas for it to get enoug gas to bassicly start.. what would i look for in this situation.. ? spark.. spark plugs.. coil packs, injectors,? or what..? i will try and get a video of it so it it more clear of what it is doing.. ?
note when the engine is warmed up.. it starts fine with no problems.

have you checked your fuel pump
Does it do this when you start it when the engine is still hot?
anyways.. i switched turbos today becuase i had a bad turbo seal. and it started up better then it has in a while.. could that have been the problem.. i will probly find out tomorrow when i try to start it in the morning..

What weight oil are you using?
So you fixed the problem but won't say how you fixed it.

Sorry, I meant to post back but things have been hectic.
My car did have the exact same problem, wouldnt start when it had been sitting, but when it was hot it would start right up.
Check that the water thermo sensor is plugged in properly and has continuity, also check the plugs and wiring for the cold start assist. On my car both of these things looked like they were plugged in properly to the naked eye, but when I checked closer I found that the contacts inside the plugs were all corroded. I fixed these and the problem went away.

i might be wrong but the JDM motors dont have that correct? i have a JDM motor so if that statement is correct then i dont have it. i know i did remove the sub-zero resivor(spl?) how would i go about getting this fluid into the engine.? i still have some fluid in the resivor(spl) could i just put some down the TB and then it should start.? or how would i go about getting this into the engine.? or would that not even really do anything. ?
