    Default Crank But No Start 5X

    Strange cold start symptoms this am. Good strong cranking with no start for 5 tries,then fired up fine like usual. On each of the bad tries, the battery and upshift arrow lit. No CE light and those two disappeared after the successful startup. Would ring antenna allow cranking but no start? Any ideas? Battery is new January.
    Thanks all.

    You have spark and fuel, you need to test which is the issue
    You can test for fuel quite easily.

    If it's fuel you may need a fuel pump check valve. Find out which you need and post. If it's fuel I'll link the correct valve to buy.

    Is the Coolant Temperature Sensor ok?

    That's what it was on my 2000 *my first one.

    The CTS allowed it to crank for different intervals of long times, take several tries, eventually fire up fine, until the one day - it was actually Thanksgiving day 2012, heh - and would not start up.. literally after filling up a full tank of Premium gas, and when about to go to a family Thanksgiving gathering. Nice. The car got towed out from that pump and station that day. (Also, with a brand new 1000+ CCA battery installed less than a month or so ago, in preparation for a cold New England winter !! and of course full tank of gas.)
