Consumer Description

I LIVE IN BUFFALO, NY SO THIS IS MORE OF A PROBLEM THAN NOT. DURING THE COLD MONTHS WENT HE TEMPERATURE GOES BELOW 20 DEGREES THE CAR FAILS TO START. I HAVE REPLACED THE FUEL PUMP, SPARK PLUGS, INTAKE, MASS AIR FLOW SENSOR, AND BATTERY. I WILL BE TRYING THE CRANKSHAFT POSITION SENSOR NEXT. THE CAR WILL CRANK STRONG, AND CONTINUE TO CRANK FOR SEVERAL MINUTES. IT WILL THEN STOP, AND BEGIN TO CRANK AGAIN WHEN THE KEY IS AGAIN TURNED. HOWEVER THE CAR NEVER TURNS OVER. THE ONLY THING I CAN IMAGINE IS THAT SOMETHING IS COMMUNICATING WITH THE ECM OR ECU, NOT TO START. THIS ONLY OCCURS WHEN IT IS VERY COLD OUT AS I PURCHASED THE CAR IN LATE SEPTEMBER, THEREFORE I HAVE TO EXPERIENCE WITH THE VEHICLE IN WARM TEMPERATURES. *TR
