All,
So I've been noticing a change in the cold starts of my 1994 NA 850 sedan. This has been going on for a little over a week now.
Around the 12th of May, when I went outside to leave for the day and start the 850 for the first time that morning, I noticed that it is taking longer to crank before the engine catches and fires. The whole time I've owned the car (since last Sept.), it would usually start after just 2 seconds of cranking. However, since the 12th, when I crank it from a cold start, it will take, on average, about 6 to 7 seconds of cranking before the engine catches. It'll just go crank-crank-crank before I hear the motor fire. Warm starts, after the engine is shut off at operating temperatures, are still fine.
This morning, I cranked it for about 6 seconds and it didn't catch. I waited about 15 seconds, then cranked it again for 2 seconds before it fired up. The battery is fine b/c I replaced it immediately after I bought the car last Sept. All electrical accessories work. Is it the cold start valve, fuel pump, pump relay, what?
