cold engine
Wednesday, October 11, 2006 7:11 PM
for awhile now , i have been having probs with my car not wanting to start first thing in the morning when the engine is cold. Someone told me once on a cold start the computer expects the throttle to be at 0, will it screw the computer up if the throttle is at anything other than 0 or for that matter, does the computer expect the throttle to be at zero anytime you start the engine normal operating temp or cold.

I don't know the answer to your question, specifically.... but I know that the computer will know what throttle position you're all... that's what the sensor is for.

If you WOT it when starting it, it goes into "clear flood" mode...

what exactly is clear flood mode, does the computer pretty much shut off the gas from getting to the engine so the engine won't turn over or what.

Yeah. It shuts off the injectors.
