Where does the thermowax hookup?
Just wondering if anyone could describe pretty well or have any pics of where the thermowax system hooks up? I need to check to see if mine is hooked up or not. I believe it isn't because there car doesn't crank well when cold.

It keeps the idle rasied a bit and as the car warms up the fast idle cam moves the thermowax and drops the idle. Im terrible at explaining things online.Its something along those lines. After the car is warmed up is it still hard to start? Once warm the thermowax isnt used. Only during cold/warming up.
The sensor behind the water pump(has a green connector on it) if that isnt plugged in then the car will have extremely hard start. Is this plug connected? I dont know why but im drawing a blank as what this sensor is called. I fail online haha

The car cranks perfect once warm. Just on cold starts. The water thermosensor is hooked up. I know there is also a sub zero cranking assist. Where exactly is that, and would that have anything to do with it?

Checking its voltage at the ECU will tell you where you stand.
The sub zero device is a non issue and does not work as it was intended to do and most folks have removed the unit to free up space and have one less thing to be bothered with.

Just because it is hooked up does not necessarily mean it is functioning properly.

And yes just because its plugged in doesn't mean its working properly. Hell i have all the sensor's plugged in for my temp gauge but it has never worked. Went aftermarket anyways.
