General Trouble starting

[bellini]

Hi my 98 gt has a bit of trouble starting only in the mornings. It turns over fast but just will not start. It takes 4/5 attempts to get it started, once started it usually dies the first time turn the key and it fires up straight away and runs. It runs fine once started and starts on the button? Any ideas thanks

Mmm, could be coolant temp sensor is faulty so you are not getting proper enrichment on cold starts. Possibly the cheapest thing you can try swapping out too.

If that doesn't work i would try cleaning out the throttle body, ICV and MAF

Is that the one in the thermostat?

Can't remember on the GT to be honest. But if there is one on the thermostat then that will be it yeah.
