Hey all, I've got a problem that I've been trying to figure out since I bought this car. It's a 93 245 LH 2.4. The car is really difficult to start when cold, (by cold I mean engine, not ambient temp, I live in FL) this is only the case ocassionally as sometimes it starts right up first crank no prob . Once out of desperation when it wouldn't start after about 20 cranks, I held the pedal to the floor and it started right up. Also I think it's worth mentioning that after the engine is warm it starts up easily, I get pretty decent gas mileage and I ran dtm#3 for the fuel injectors and iac, everything checked out. The obd is giving me one code in slot 2, 232. No code in slot 6. Also after all those attempts to start my plugs were soaking wet w fuel.. Could this be from repeated cranking? So I'm at my wits end here, I'm leaning toward tps or engine computer, possibly ignition control module? Once the car is started it hesitates a little when the gas is pressed down, but like I said when she gets warmed up she runs like a Swedish dream!
