Cold start issue

04350Z · 02-19-2010, 03:00 AM

When it gets below freezing the cobra has had some cold start issues. It will run for about 3 seconds and then shutoff. Sometimes if you just give it alittle throttle it will stay running other times it doesn't matter.

It acts fine after it warms up alittle outside.

do you have a check engine light on?

Just for the rear 02's... Even with the cel reset, it still does it.

What intake is on the car?

My 98 keeps throwing a rear 02 code and has the same start issue. I think it is because the ecu goes rich when the engine light is on. This causes a flooding like issue, left over, raw fuel.

Just a short piece after the maf... Sounds like the samething no2... to much fuel

Called, the wife at 11 and had her go out and start it. Fired right up, first try! I guess the cobra doesn't like anything below freezing. LOL
