my 87 turbo takes a really long time to start it turns over with no problems but i have to kept trying to get it to run i heard this might be the cold start sensor is that the sensor with 3 places for little hoses and some wires on it if so it only has two hoses hooked up to it but i don't see where the third one goes to any help will please
ok now for a serious question what makes my supra so hard to start
- Thread starter wildfire3d2
- Start date
cold start injectors get fouled out bad from EGR and oil from the PCV system...
you gotta pull em and soak the hell outta them in carb cleaner (mine was double the tickness it's supposed to be....ALL carbon buildup)

it just might be your starter is going to take a crap soon. That happened to my car. Check your starter contacts and make sure they aren't worn/corroded because mine sure was. Ended up replacing the starter since the car wouldn't even crank.

if you would have read his post you would have seen that he said it cranks fine.
if you dont know, dont post. youre just leading him in the wrong direction.
ahh, didn't see the cranking over part. hard to read without periods in the wording. disregard the starter then. maybe clogged fuel injectors?
I broke some kind of sensor or switch on my car, I think it may have been the cold start time switch on the T-stat housing, and for several months until I finally replaced it the car needed like 20-30 seconds of cranking to start in the morning. After the first start of the day it started pretty quick though. After I replaced whatever I broke, it started immediately.
Regarding the hoses, I think it is the BVSV that has the hoses going to it on the T-stat housing. The cold start time switch does not have any hoses. It is just a switch on the very top of the T-stat housing.

Yup, brand new from Toyota. I was lazy and just ordered a new one and swapped them out. I guess I'll clean the old one and hang on to it as a spare ready to go if I need it. It should buff right out . . :icon_mrgr

Hmm well this post just solved my problem with starting my car in the morning. It would take me a while to crank it and even if it started it would kill itself then start right after. I'll have to clean this and give it a try in the morning.
let me add to the Q. it takes about 5 to 10 minutes to start (the + battery cable gets screaming hot while trying) when it first starts tho it runs ruff then dies. then i have to try again. when it finaly runs it can ideal for a few minutes then it dies again. by the way it has a 30 thousand mile motor from japan in it but i do not think every thing is hooked up right ( i know the guy who did the install and it was he's first time to install a motor)
im having a similar problem. the check engine light is on, the code is for a temp sensor. my car takes for ever to start. if it does start it idles really crapy then dies. it does this about 5 times before i can drive it. oh yeah and when it is idling really crappy and i give it gas it cuts off.
