I would double check the temp 2 sensor and related wiring. This sensor rarely fails but the connector and the ground wire connection is a common source of hidden trouble. The next problem could be the ECU.

When it's cold or warm, when I start it it cranks and cranks until it starts and then it will belch some black smoke from the exhaust then the van runs fine until I try to start it again. I've put in new spark plugs, cap rotor. Temp 2 sensor. Any help in solving the problem will be greatly appreciated. Thank you |
