Hard to start when cold

Good morning.

Does it crank normally when it is hard to start?

Roy

yea cranks over good. put new plugs, fuel injectors, and new egr valve. didn't replace the gas temperature sensor

when engine at room temperature cranks 8-10 revolutions once started it will start at the touch of the key

Are there any codes??

Two things come to mind:


1. Coolant temperature sensor.
2. Intake air temperature sensor.

Here is what I did this morning. After about ten cranks engine started. I shut engine off immediately, waited one minute. started right back up. going to check for codes. almost acts like losing fuel pressure.

Correct. I would start by checking the fuel pressure. leave the gauge on the car overnight so you can see if the system is losing prime.
