Those of you who have had the starting issues (starter engages, but won'tfire for a few minutes)
what was your fix? I know it has been posted a few times about a coolant temp sensor..
Can anyone who has experienced this same issue post me some info on whant needs to be changed out...
symptoms are... starter turns over, but car doesn't fire, I can hear the fuel pump working and when it does fire (sometimes between 3 - 30 turns of the ignition) there is a really heavy fuel smell so I assume fuel is fine. New MAF so that shouldn't be it.
TIA

Ryan, I had that exact same issue right down to the fuel smell. Change out your CTS.
It's on the passenger side under the MAF/accordian hose area. It's an EASY & Cheap fix. I would say get an extra clip as well as the sensor.

Hmm.. My car normally starts on the first turn of the key, but lately, It's taken a second turn:
I wonder if my CTS is going out...
My car has never failed to fire... but now maybe 2 or 3 times a week, I'll turn the key as I usually do, and it won't start. Off and On again, it fires normally...
Could this be a CTS?

That's correct. I've included the ECS link for you.
