you say that if the fans run..it failed too to get the oil temp? from rave "If the ECT sensor fails or becomes disconnected, the ECM will use a default value which is based on values from the engine oil temperature sensor." I can try to fake the sensor by using a 6.8K (0C) resistor inside the...

removed the plug from ECT (colant sensor) and it started at first key but after few secs of cranking...which it's not good; also..the cooling fans started; outside temp..few degrees..3-4; perhaps if I'll chenge the spark plugs it will be better, perhaps not; in this situation by the docs..the...

to test this: fuel pump will prime when you turn the key to the on position it is possible to crack whitout first priming the pump, so that the first crank acts like priming the pump, and the motor starts at the second attempt?

Cold start problem. It happens only in the cold season, else it starts at the first key. When temp drops below 10C it won't start at first...it needs 2-3 attempts. No problem with the engine hot or in the summer. Also the idle stepper motor I think it's fine because I have a steady iddle 800...
