A sensor checks the coolant temperature and signals the vehicle’s computer that a richer gas mixture is needed to start the engine in cold weather. Check if this sensor is functioning and the condition of the coolant. Coolant becomes acidic after three years and will prove destructive to the engine.

I have a 2004 saturn vue 3.5L v6. The honda engine. When I got it, it only had a cel for a bad o2. This winter, it started misfiring on all cylinders. I literally have every misfire code the ecu can throw.
Where to look for misfires in an engine?
The first place I would be looking into with multiple misfires is the ignition system. Your engine has a timing belt as well as sensors for camshaft as well as the crank. If you jump time via the T belt you will see misfires…and same goes for the sensors.
Why does my ECU misfire all the time?
This winter, it started misfiring on all cylinders. I literally have every misfire code the ecu can throw. I got around to replacing the o2 sensor, hoping that would fix it, but it did nothing for the misfiring. It no longer gives me the o2 code, so it wasn’t a waste. Anyways, it ONLY misfires when the engine is cold-cold.
How does the ECM detect a cylinder misfire?
By monitoring variations in the crankshaft rotation speed for each cylinder, the ECM can detect individual cylinder misfire events. Extreme cylinder misfire events can cause catalytic converter damage. The malfunction indicator lamp (MIL) will flash when the conditions for catalytic converter damage are present.
