ok i just got this car, 1991 cougar 5.0ho maf.
when it was warm a week ago (+15C) it would start but would crank for 3 secs and would stall in reverse if i didnt give it gas.
today its snowing and like -2c and it wont start. i changed the plugs, the old ones looked soaked in gas, i put in a coil that i knew worked. verified it working by giving myself a nice shock. i cleaned up the cap and rotor button with my dremel. i even put in a fresh battery but i drained it trying to get it to start. damnitall.
im going to maybe replace the injectors with some ones i have kicking around, that is if the fuel pressure is good.
what would make a car not start when cold? air temp sensor?
