For a few weeks now I’ve noticed that on cool mornings about 42-45 degrees, and sitting for about 16-20hrs, my car will crank longer than usual 3-5 sec and then it will start. On warmer days it will start right up no problem at all.

Today it got down to about 32-34 degrees; the car will crank normally but won’t start at all. Check engine light does not come on, spark plugs were changed in june2009, and the crank shaft sensor was also changed a few months ago. Have not changed fuel filter yet could it be …

Car has over 99000 miles.
Appreciate your replies

 

Just realized that I wouldn’t get a check engine light unless I get the car started
So, I used the OBD II scanner got the one code P0335 (crank shaft position sensor) could it be that I purchased defective part on eBay?

think i'll go to the dealer tomorrow...

 

Did you get oem Bosch sensor or aftermarket? Have them exchange it for you. Mine was doing same thing only ones a long while on cold morning but after 140K miles of good service.

 

Thanks for responding mbenz80

It was aftermarket from an ebay store. going to dealer tomorrow to get oem.

 

New bosch oem CPS did the trick ...
