hmmm? cuz on computers at like auto zone and shit they say that there is such a thing but theres no listing? but then again its autozone?

then what happend because it usto start right up and now it take a couple of trys but only when its cold hint where we got the idea of the cold start valve. any one have any ideas. b4 this happend some shit grounded out but only like the intake sensor which is fixed now and i changed the fule filter. and i'd say maby the started but it starts right up if it was on like 4 hours ago.

any one have any ideas?

there is no cold start valve. the coolant temperature sensor might be going bad, which would make the idle air control valve open less when it's cold, and there would be less ecu compensation for the engine being cold, which both of those would take the duties of what the cold start valve would do.

it means you have wiring problems with your car and should probably take it to someone that knows what they're doing.
