I am having problems with my car sputtering for a few seconds when I start it while the engine is cold. Once the engine warms up it wont do it. Also recently the car has not started on the first turn. The engine just turns over and wont start. On the second try, it resumes the sputter.

SOURCE: Car wont start for a few minutes, then starts and runs fine.

Try using an OBD II diagnostics tester to see if there's a fault code stored in your pcm, if you don't have one you can purchase one at most auto parts store's, some auto parts stores will do this test for you at no cost, one for example is auto zone, this should tell you what the problem might be. Good luck.

SOURCE: 1996 Infiniti I30 turn key and barely turns over

The problem is almost certainly the starter and not the battery. Once a battery gets to the point that you turn the key and nothing, not even clicking takes place, it is highly unlikely that after a few minutes it will turn over. However, the corrosion is an indication that the battery will need to be replaced anyway. Normally, the starter in the beginning stages of complete failure will do exactly what you described, turn the key and nothing, no noise, no clicking, nothing. I have seen starters that will start the car after doing that if the vehicle sits for a little while. The starter will engage fewer and fewer times until it finally completely fails. Sometimes, when you turn the key and nothing happens, you can have someone tap on the starter with a bar or something with a little weight while you are attempting to start it and it may start. The starter on that car is on the drivers side of the engine, toward the front, down low. I would suggest taking your car to a AutoZone, or parts store, or even Wal-Mart and have the battery tested, as that regardless of the starter issue, you are going to need a battery. Another thing, Infiniti starters will make a wheezing sound for a second as the car is starting, so listen if you can get it started again and see if you hear that sound. Hope this helps you and good luck.

SOURCE: I have a 2006 Infiniti g35. The fan takes about

I have the exact same issue.
I brought it to the dealership and they expect the problem to come from the AC control unit.
800$CA piece + 2hours (which in fact take 20 minutes to hook).
The does the exact same thing!
We still have this issue so if you figured it out, please let me know.

Car sputters when engine is cold and fine when warm

If your vehicle has a carburetor, I'd say you've got a problem with your choke, specifically your cold/curb idle dashpot. What is your fuel system, "air mixture problems" sounds like a carburetor to me.

Misfires when cold

Just means it isn't warmed up yet when sputters and misfires. Most likely a bad connection on the temperature sending unit in the engine or that sending unit is faulty. This sending unit tells the computer when engine is warm or cold and has to be functional. When working properly, it tells the computer to put engine in cold start mode, which it is not doing. The sensor is stuck in open position or warm mode and not giving the engine enough fuel when cold making it misfire and sputter. Fix that and you'll have no other problems with revving either.

2010 Impala doesnt want to start when the engine is cold but when it is warm it has no issue

hard starting when cold indicates an ambient temp sensor or Baro sensor problem as the correct data is not being sent to the ECM to adjust the fuel setting for cold start
other areas are the MAF/VAF sensors
with gm products the correct scanner has to be used as many do not have the protocol software to read gm codes
find an accredited service center first and ask if they have the right scanner to read GM codes and if yes , get the codes read and get a quote before going to the service deaker
being armed with information is one way to save money

Starts cold but sputters and dies when hot

It sounds like it is getting too much fuel. check your fuel sensor. Your choke is sticking open. Buy some carb cleaner. Remove your air filter and spray the linkage to clean it up. Make sure it moves easy. Start your car up. the butter fly on top of the carb will be closed all the way. As the motor warms up this should open up gradually. If it doesn't you have a problem with the choke system and it is not letting air in as the motor warms up.

I have a 93' sierra 6 cylinder 2 wheel drive, once engine warms up it sputters and loses power. If you shift from drive to reverse it stalls and won't start. When engine has cooled it starts like a champ...

The problem may be the engine coolant sensor. If the sensor fails the engine will stop when normal operating temperature is reached . When engine is cold it will start.

87 ford ranger wont start without starting fluid

It sounds like you aren't getting fuel out of the cold start injector... remove the injector when engine is cold and switch on ignition... you should get a fine spray pattern for a few seconds... if not then there is probably a problem with the cold start circuit (Temp sensor fault), or the injector is faulty. pull electrical connectors one at a time and look for corrosion... Hope this helps...;-)
