Starting Issue: Need Help

Your cold start injector wouldn't run the car for a minute and a half. It will only run for several seconds during start-up.

Have you done what Wally suggested by watching the NOID light after it dies and will not restart?

The only time I used the NOID light was after it wouldn't restart, and just crank and crank. All 8 made the light blink.

Have your ignition coil checked?

Try a small amount of starting fluid while a helper turns it over. If it hits, you have spark. If you're still unsure, physically remove a plug and ground it while a helper turns it over to verify spark.

I checked all the plugs with an inline light and all 8 made the light blink. It's frustrating, lol. Im going to try the starter fluid regradless, as well as checking my temp II sensor and getting my injectors serviced by Withhunter. We'll see how things go after that

I would think you would see some evidence of a rich running condition had your temp II faulted. Do the check on it that I provided earlier in this thread and report findings anyway. You will lose a little coolant when you remove the sensor. Check its resistance at room temperature and then again after submerging it in boiling water. I think it is supposed to be somewhere around 15-16k ohms at operating temperature IIRC.

UPDATE:

- Removed fuel rails and injectors. They look bad The hoses are all dry rotting and they are filthy. I am going to send them to Witchhunter to see what they say since I'm not sure if those hoses are even replaceable along with the reconditioning they do. If not, I guess I'm going to have to save for new injectors. Here are some pics:




-I removed the temp sensors for testing and I realized the connector on the one farthest back has a resistor on it.. is this normal?



-I also noticed that two ports on my throttle body are capped off. My best guess is these are coolant line ports and the PO did a bypass? Still, looks shoddy and confuses me..



-My pin connector looks in decent shape. I don't see any problems here:




-I removed the shrouds for the timing belt to check it and see if it really was new like the PO said. Seems like he wasn't lying..unless I am judging incorrectly?




-When taking off the timing belt cover on the passenger side, I saw this connector just hanging there. Not sure where it goes or if it was even connected to begin with. Anyone recognize it?
