1994 4.0 V6 Automatic. Cold starts OK and runs OK…until I shut it off and go into a store. It won’t start when warm. It tries to start and stumbles on 3 or 4 cylinders and then dies. After it cools for an hour or so it starts and runs normally.
What is used only on a cold start but not on a warm start? Or what is used on a warm start and not on a cold start?
Any suggestions as to what may cause something like this? It appears that we are getting spark and fuel since it will run briefly on just a few cylinders. My guess is that a sensor is sending incorrect information to the computer. But I don't know which sensors come into play here. Or which computer controls the warm start sequence or which components are involved in the warm start sequence. Any suggestions as to where to look or what to check?
Oh yes, the check engine light has not come on at all. Just in case, I had the local dealer check to see if there have been any codes set. None are there.
It's a mystery.
