I have a 95 with 75k. My problem is that the car has trouble starting sometimes. At first it only seemed to happen when the car was cold. It seems to be happening more and more often lately cold or hot now, kinda random. When I push the pedal all the way down just before I turn the key it will usually start right up. Also the rough starts seems to be tripping my crankshaft position senser (CPS) and an o2 senser with the check engine light. I have replaced the CPS. It did not fix the problem. I also have a small water leak that I have not been able to track down yet (I have to fill up every month for the last two months now). Not sure if that is a related problem or not just thought I'd mention it in case. I have read up on the site and have heard so many different responses on what it could be that I thought the best way would just be to describe exactly what I'm dealing with and hope someone who has had the same problem will read and can help. Thanks.

 

Try cleaning your TB and IACV.

 

We need to know if your check engine light when away when you changed the crankshaft sensor and the o2 sensor.

What are the pending codes as of today? And did you clear the computer memory after installing the parts?

 

Uggh. Its a blown head gasket and leaking fuel injector! Im on the fence on this one because the car is in such good shape. I got it from an old lady with 35k. Interior is like new black leather. Maybe ill part it out. Thanks anyway for the help.

 

if the tranny is still good then jus swap the engine. Those engines are everywhere. With the new injector shouldnt cost more than 1000 bucks.

 

Where exactly are you located man? Sounds like the starter is bad. If it doesn't crank fast enough, it will throw the CPS code.

 

He said its a blown head gasket and leaky injector lol. A bad starter would be the least of his problems

 

True that but the A32 is very difficult to blow the head gasket especially when the ECTS prevents the overheating.

 

oh I can tell you how hard it is. I had to drive over an hour with my 96 overheating so to blow a head gasket? tough indeed
