having trouble starting engine when its cold
Hey guys this is the situation:

When the dizz its on its normal position(15-17 degrees) car runs excellent and behaves like a champ BUT whenever the car its park lets say overnight I have problems getting to engine to start

1-engine cranks and tries to start but it does not, I smell like gas comming out of the intake(air filter). sometimes after 2-3 minutes it will start normally, but usually I have this problem,


2- If I move the distributor (advance) to almost the end of the adjustment car starts at it first try, but timming its way too advance and my car does not like it


I have a sr20ve with an ECU from jamie, Neo afc for the vvl, header intake and exhaust. Other than that car runs excellent

Any ideas?

just scan the car today and got code 13 for CTS(coolant sensor) can this be causing this issue?

It's located on the passenger side of the motor under the intake mani. It's on an aluminum piece coming off the back of the head with a heater hose going to the firewall, there will be two sensors there, one is a single wire sensor, and a two wire sensor right next to it. The two wire sensor is the one you need to replace.

Im asking this because:

1- there are 2 connectors,one that looks like the knock sensor one which will connect fine on an sr20 CTS (red color plug) and it looks like the cable you described

2-there are another 2 connectors where the first one is, those look like the connectors on the IACV and one of those plugs fine in a CTS (blue color)

thats why I was asking for a pic of it or at least the color of the cables
