Re: Cold starts n engine problems
Thats definately the Temp Sensor - common failure on these
When you replace it, be sure to get a genuine one from a dealer and not a copy part from GSF/Euro etc as the quality is just shocking and half they time they dont work at all

one.
If its a 6n itll likely be a black 4 pin temp sensor with a square plug

Iv had the temp switch changed and I'm still having same problem so I'm going to have my throttle body taken off and see if that could be the problem.
Thanks for th advice.
