Hi - can you help... I have a Carina e 2 litre. As the weather gets colder my car gets harder to start. I have to keep the starter motor going a little longer after it fires. There appears to be no problems when I tested the onboard diagnostics - I have replaced the distributor cap, rotar arm,battery, air filter. Once its warmed up it drives great. Any ideas?

Hi pluto_scorp and welcome to 2carpros

Check the fuel pump pressure if its within specifiaction and inspect fuel filter-if okay-test the coolant temperature sensor this is the one that tells the computer the engine is cold and needs fuel
