cranks rough

Have it scanned for codes let me know the exact code nunbers you have not code descriptions.

no CEL is on some had told me to do a timing check with a timing light ?

I dont see how the timing being off would cause your symptoms.Who told you to check the timing?Also just because the lights not on doesnt mean there arent and codes.I always check for codes first.

Symptoms indicates a possible fault with the IAC. If no trouble codes are present, have the IAC and throttle body cleaned and retest.

will do that clean the throttle body and IAC

will post results later on thank you

Keep us posted.

ok i cleaned the IACV and throttle body and it seemed to do a little better on the starts unlike before. only sometimes will it crank rough

What do you mean by crank rough?

when i go to start it . it'll hesitate to run. it chokes ,chokes and then warms up like usual

Its could b ur starter battery or alternator.

alternator or starter might be the case ? will test those tomorrow

If its hesitating wen u start n drive it n u loss power wen u step on da break its defently ur coil or sparkplugs/ sparkplug cables

Not the starter. If it is starter you would not be able to crank. Neither is it alterntor. You are having issues with the cold start and it could be due to valves too tight, head gasket problem, IAC, spark plugs, ignition coils, plug wires.

DO you have coolant losses issues and/or overheating?

very true KHLow2008 and i did have a overheating problem i fixed it and hasnt overheated since then. and i also replaced the ignition coil not that long ago. im about to go aboout changed the spark plugs because i checked them out the other day and they are burnt . black crust on the top all around

just changed the spark plugs and it still does the same

Like I said coil. If it wasn't da sparkpluggs

damn word. the ignition coil right? i bought an accel i dont know if its a very dependable brand

Yes. Just make sure to mark number to each spark plug from where u take them off. Write one on da first spark plug n before u pull another off mark one one one on coil top to connect them in da same place u took them off

Though you have no overheating do you have coolant losses issues? You mentioned rectifying the overheating, what was done and how long ago was it?
Have you tested the fuel pressure?

no coolant lose and about a month ago it would overheat and all i changed was the T-stat and its gasket and havent had any overheating issue since then. no i havent tested for furl pressure

Did you check the coolant level in radiator. If the engine is difficult to start and struggles after starting and problem is not mechanically related, the highest possibility would be fuel pressure.

Before starting the engine, turn ignition switch ON for 2 seconds, OFF and back on again for 2 seconds and OFF. Repeat 2 or 3 tinmes and try starting. If starting is easier, check the fuel pressure. Either the fuel pump is weak or there is a leak in the line which normally occurs in the fuel tank, the hose between the pump and housing.

ok will try that tomorrow but that issue happens when i drive it and i go to turn it on it struggles. when i go to turn it on in the morning it cranks up like nothing . can you give me the proper way of checking the fuel pressure because ive seen some videos and stuff but id rather have the info from someone who knows thanks for the response

The videos you have seen regarding fuel pressure testing should be correct. Check out the following link.

No problem with cold start and only struggles when at operating temperature can be due to too low idling speed, valves clearances too tight, weak ignition coil and faulty ECT.
