This one is tricky. My truck takes 3 or 4 times to start when it’s cold out, with a cold engine, but once it’s started it runs fine. what happens is when it’s the first start of the day, I go to start it and it starts then stalls like 1 second later, every time i give it gas and on the 3rd try it revs and stays running if i hold the RPMs at about 2000 for 20 seconds or so. Once it’s warmed up it starts right up.
It’s been happening since I bought the truck last year.
Some things to note:
I’ve replaced the battery about 6 months ago
Replaced the fuel filter about 4 months ago
the air filter isn’t dirty. changed 5 months ago.
Changed the plugs 4 months ago.
Replaced belt same time as plugs.
changed the wires about 2 months ago (pepboys moved them into the belt path while attempting to change oil)
replaced alternator 2 weeks ago (original just died)
There is no engine light on.I’ve done some searching and some people are pointing to the IAC sensor, what do you think? I don’t want to throw parts at it, if i don’t have to, although that part only costs about $47.
