Default Car won't start!!AGAIN!!!
It's 11 degrees out and for the second time this winter my car won't start. Doing the same thing as last time. Last time I thawed it out, replaced the coolant temp sensor, and replaced the plugs before it would run again. Anyone have any ideas as to what it could be since I'm doubting its the coolant temp sensor or plugs again?

ARRRRRRRRGH

piece of ****

Default the first attempt, it sort of started and stumbled, missing quite a bit then died after about 5
seconds. after that, it just cranks and cranks and cranks, sort of coughing and sputtering, but never starting up.

Default Check my web page...
there is a couple things on no start condition for the V6. There isn't many things that cause it so that is good.
