I am pretty sure there is a initial startup map that handles fueling only for the first minute or so . Now if your sensor is reading it is 50 degrees and it is actually 30 u will be lean if it is actually 70 degrees you will be rich but it becomes easier to start the warmer it is. So yes i yhink it could be a fsulty temp sensor but it is easy enough to check as long as you log it on startup and see how close it is reading to ambient. I wouldnt go changing it out unless i logged it first.

 

Hi,Took a break for a while because
Flew down to Arizona with my 16 yr old daughter to get her first car and drove back on Rt.66 to Chicago.
Ok is it an easy job to get to Temp sensor, ,I think I will try that .I am at almost 50k miles.
Thanks

HI,,So does anyone know where the coolant temp sensor sending unit is?
Thanks

 

look behind the belt tensioner it is located in a water manifold/bracket that the tensioner is bolted to

 

Thank You.

 

you will need to remove the y pipe and alternator and it is just behind alternator.Read this thread it will make it more clear

HI Guys, Well I needed a new alternator in summer as the dealer said, extended warranty picked it up.
So I had them replace the coolant temp sensor then because it was easier now.. But they still charged me a pretty penny for antifreeze flush and swap .
Ok ,, Its been a few times with the high 20s low 30s temps outside here at night.
No more cold start up issue,,,,hopefully it is took care of it.. Only problem now is my extended warranty ends at the of the month . Can not get another one due to age,, not mileage reason.
THANK YOU to all that gave me feedback and help .

 

how is the start up now that its cold...

 

Hi Mark ,, As I said above no problems,, yet .LOL.
I do have that new F pipe, one day when you can . Thanks
