Well whats going on is...my car usually starts every day w/ no problems, but here lately if say I go to the store or go to put gas in, basicly if my car sits for only a short period of time and I try to go and start it it wont, it just cranks and cranks like the CAS is unpluged. It smells like its flooded. If I leave it alone for about 30 min or so, it will start right back up like nothing was ever wrong. Any ideas?mods include...50# msdsJwt ECU255 walbrotopmount T3/T4ect...ect

Sounds like a coolant temp sensor to me....just from what I've read seaching around here. Bad CTS's will sometimes make it so that a hot car won't start, but wont' cause any problems on a colder engine.

I have heard of this issue as well but I have not actually seen or had this problem. The sensor cant cost that much so I would definately try it. Go to http://www.courtesyparts.com/ for OE SR Sensors. You need the 2 Wire for the ECM
