First, the car runs fine. The problem is that it won't start, right away, when it has been sitting in the cold awhile. I have to try to start it, then let it sit for 3-5 mins. It always starts on the third try.
I have replaced the CTS and the fuel pump relay, no effect. Sometimes I can hear the fuel pump run when I open the door, as it should, but not usually, even after sitting overnight. I put a voltmeter on the pump. It reads about 10.8 volts when cranking; sounds like the pump is running when cranking. This seems like a low reading to me. What do you think?
I assume the next step would be to measure the fuel pressure at the engine. But what would normal cranking and running pressure be?
One day I guess I'll have to get into the door switch also.
Another strange problem that may be related, or not: once every coupla weeks or so, when it starts, the computer isn't working. The light is on and there's no response to moving the gas pedal. I shut it off and restart, it's okay.
Have corroded connections been a problem with this model? Could that be making all these symptoms? Why won't it start only when it's cold?
Hope you folks have some good ideas, Joe
