02 Arc with 153k miles on it.
Behavior: stalling (typically when cold) at stop lights. sometimes not starting after stalling, or won't start. car is cranking. letting it sit for a bit helps it start (20 seconds to just a few minutes.)
What it's (hopefully) NOT: crankshaft position sensor (replaced recently), fuel pump (also replaced recently), fuel filter (replaced recently)
Can it be??: car has been driven with a coolant temperature sensor/thermostat code for some time. in winter the car has the CEL and often just shuts down the temperature gauge. gas mileage and heat are a little off when the temperature is really cold
The guy at Auto Zone was convinced that the starting problem could be caused by the broken coolant temp sensor, but that's the first time I've ever heard that before.
I'm not convinced of that. I'm leaning towards the throttle body needing a cleaning...what do y'all think?
