I have v70 - 2001 - 124,000 miles. Last fall I had my timing belt installed and I started to have problems starting the car. It would sputter a few times before it started. After I started the car in the morning the car ran great. No problems. As the weather got colder I had to try 2 or 3 or 4 times to start the car. Now the weather is in the high 50s and the car sputters a few time but start much faster now.

I had the fuel presuure, battery and slternator checked - all within specs.

I think that as the weather warms up - my problem will disappear and return when the weather get cold.

Help

 

I would suspect the coolant temp sensor.

 

Thanks - I really appreciate your suggestion. Now that we have warm weather in Ohio the car starts like a chanp. I only had a check engine light once during the cold weather - that I had a problem with the MAF Dector. So all i can do is wait.

 

having the similar issue...your suggestion may help me form this problem...

 

Would this be the same for a 1995 850? I'd like to tell my mechanic.
