Hi, I have a 1996 Cavalier with a 2.2, 5 speed. The car starts and runs great in a heated shop, and when taken out of the heated shop can drive for hours with no problem...but as soon as the car sits outside in the cold (-10C) for an hour or more, the car will not start!!
I've changed the fuel pump, fuel filter, drained the tank, put fresh gas and gas line antifreeze, changed the spark plugs, changed the coolant temperature sensor, taken the computer out, cleaned it, siliconed it, and did the tap test on the computer and the car still runs great... until its been parked in cold for an hour or more!
Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.
Thanx, Kevin
