Why does my car run fine when the engine is cold?
Maybe there are two problems. The first is that the car should run fine even on cold starts. That could be due to an air leak, or a fuel pressure problem, either could cause a lean mixture, which would be most noticeable when the engine is cold.
When to run the fuel pump before cranking the engine?
Some systems will run the fuel pump for a short period when the drivers door is opened or when the key is turned to the ignition stop before being turned to crank. If this isn’t happening for some reason, you may be having to wait until the fuel pump provides enough pressure at the fuel rail to start the vehicle. My vote is for the injectors.
Can a car cold start without starting fluid?
Cold: just cranks, no start. Cold could be anywhere from 80f-50f ambient so far. So to start it cold I take the air filter off, shoot on shot of starting fluid in it and it starts up and runs perfectly. Anyone want to guess why this is? Thank you so much for any help you can give.
What should I do if my car hard start when cold?
Let the vehicle cool until the engine is cold. Then perform a cold start test. If you encounter the same hard start when cold and the FLEX FUEL DATA reading is back up to 70% or more, your next step is to check fuel pressure. Check fuel pressure. Fuel pressure must be at least 55-60-psi.
Why does my car run hard when it’s cold?
Once it does start, it doesn’t run well. It may run extremely rich, which you will notice with rough idle and poor MPG. It may also store trouble codes P0172 and P0175. However, once the engine warms up, it runs fine and will restart just fine. This Ford shop manual says these kinds of hard start when cold problem can be caused by:
Why does my Car Crank for a long time?
When my oil gets to the end of its life i get the same thing. It cranks for a little longer to start. The oil gets really foamy and it take alot of oil pressure to run the injectors. I think the oil breaking down just takes more to pump the injectors.

What happens when you crank a car without starting fluid?
If I crank it without starting fluid in when it’s cold, it sounds like a normal crank, but the engine doesn’t feel like it’s getting close to turning over. As soon as I use the starting fluid, it’ll chug for a second and then fire up.

What does it mean when cold my Car misfires?
When cold my car misfires, if I let it warm up thoroughly about ten minutes it is fine. It is not vacuum leaks, injectors, carbon, plugs, coil, etc. It has something to do with cold engine with the computer, for when at operating temperature it is fine.
When does cold, engine shakes and hesitates during acceleratio?
After the vehicle sits overnight (cold engine), during idle, engine vibrates and after about a minute vibration’s gone and comes back again a minute after – this cycle goes on and only stops when the engine becomes hot. When driving cold, i notice that the engine does not have enough power as before. It hesitates and shakes when going uphill.
Why does my car not start in the Cold?
When you run that engine for just a few seconds it doesn’t actually get the cylinder or cylinder walls warm, combined with an engine running rich (since it’s cold) you get lots of non-vaporized gas in the cylinder. Then when you try to start later it is flooded. When this has happened to me I can’t get the car to start at all.

Why is my engine not setting a fault code?
The injector may not be holding fuel pressure after the engine is shut off.When this occurrs with a hot engine the heat of the piston vaporizes the fuel.When the engine is cold the fuel sits in the cylinder and causes a misfire on start up until the cylinder clears its self.This might explain why it is not setting a fault code.
What should I do if my car misfire after warm up?
Misfire after warm up. Runs great when cold. Has new engine new plugs wires injectors when starts misfiring can shut down start back up and runs fine until a few minutes then starts again. have the same problem? This sounds like you have an intake valve that is leaking. Can you do a leak down test to confirm the issue? This guide can help as well.
