    cold start problem

    Can anyone tell me why I have to tap the gas to get my car started when the motor is cold? I've tried numerous throttle bodies but still no luck.

    It will fire then die. Once I give it a little gas its fine and idles on its own. I have a klze with a kl31 and je50 combo. Thanks

    bump for any answers. i tested it out this morning when i drove the car. it took two starts and sputters before it finally started and idled on its own without giving it gas.

          tthat soliniod (lol i cannot spell for the life of me) is for cold starts

          if you dont have it or its broke or in your case not even there itll have a harder time starting up in the cold

          mine was the same way in my old escort in wainters

              Ok I guess that explains why it starts right up after its warmed up. As long as nothing is wrong with my motor I can deal with it for now. I have the sensor but I guess I need a new harness.
