Hard to start when cold
My widetrack blob is having a very hard time starting from cold, the car has had both a new battery and new alternator. Plugs are pefect.
I cant find any parasitic drain, but have read about a factory fitted tracker draining the battery and also the coolant temp sensor. Would anybody know where the tracker would be located? I have taken off most of the panels in the interor but didnt find anything. TBH I dont even know what a tracker would look like, could anybody pm me a location please. Also there is no cel for the coolant sensor, however the car always starts without issue when warm, would this be indicative of a fault with the sensor? A further issue issue which I'm not sure is related is that when warm the car seems to have developed a misfire which can be felt in the drivers seat, again no cel. I hope its not a compression issue but will be doing a compression test anyway this weekend. Has anybody encountered similar issues? |
clean the cam and crank sensors. Located under the alternator at the front and on the right hand side by the oil filler neck. Could also be a coilpack breaking down so may be worth getting a set

Cheers mate, I replaced the cam sensor about year ago, car stood still for that entire time, have givrn the crank sensor a clean, will see how it starts over the next few days.
