tidd1340 Posted November 27, 2011 Share Posted November 27, 2011 My 95 legacy 2.2 has a random no start issue...no real pattern..will start fine,the when you go to start it again,no go...turns over fine.Figuring fuel or ignition problem.Car runs fine otherwise.This was a problem from the previous owner,so i don't have allot of history..any thoughts on where to start? Also,i have the hill holder unhooked.Is there any adjustments that need to be made so the brakes dont drag? In other words does the HH need to be hooked up? thanks.

davebugs Posted November 27, 2011 Share Posted November 27, 2011 I had this exact problem with a 2.2 swap I did a few years ago. He tried both sensors (cam and crank) with used ones I had and I believe he did cam first and after crank no more problems. Crank sensors can be hard to remove here in the rust belt though.

porcupine73 Posted November 28, 2011 Share Posted November 28, 2011 In addition to the above items, the engine coolant temperature sensor can cause this sort of problem, but I think usually it is the other way around (wont start when cold, but will when warm).

tidd1340 Posted November 28, 2011 Author Share Posted November 28, 2011 Im going to try the IAC first. The car does a weird low to 1300-1500 rpms when its first started..revs up and down exactly 5 times before it settles in,every time.Thanks for the tips!

95legwagon Posted November 28, 2011 Share Posted November 28, 2011 if it revs like that it is the iac.... i got a junkyard one and it cured the no start problem but now evey once in awhile it revs up and down just like you stated.....its like a $300 part btw hope that solves the problem Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Olnick Posted November 28, 2011 Share Posted November 28, 2011 You might start by removing your old IACV and giving it a thorough cleaning. The only new part you'd need is a small gasket. Clean the rubber tube from the PCV too, and maybe get a new PCV. Good luck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
