1G 93 Talon has starting issues

[Barons77]

Ok so my 93 Talon has been having issues starting for about 2 weeks now. It takes about 10 to 15 cranks to get it to actually start up, and then when it does it idles rough and dies until the car is warmed up. When it first starts if i give it any gas it dies. After about ten minutes the car runs great. After i shut it off if it sits for more than 3 to 4 hours then the same thing happens. It also is harder to start the colder it is outside.

Also the check engine light comes on after it warms up and doesn't turn off unless i shut the car off. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks

Check the codes

cts?

Alright so I checked the codes and got 3, a CTS code, intake air temp sensor, and barometric pressure sensor. I replaced the CTS today and it is still throwing the code.

thanks again for the help

Temp sensor will make a world of difference, man. Sounds exactly like what was happening to our Spyder. Changed it out and it's a whole new car!

Sounds like you have a blown ground in the ECU.

I was having issues with cold starts as well and cleaned the CTS, and now it is much improved. It still takes a couple cranks though, so I'd like to replace it. I checked Rockauto.com and they did not have it. Where is a good place to buy one?

Well if its a 1g, the Baro and IAT are integrated with the MAF. Sounds like maybe you have a bad mass air flow sensor also.

I got my cts from autozone for 17 bucks

Unplug the MAF and see if it acts any differently.
