We would need more information in order to help you. First, if the Check Engine light is on, that means that your car's onboard engine management computer has detected a problem. This could very well be related to your hard start cold complaint. Stop by any auto parts store that offers a free code retrieval service, find out what the stored fault is, and ask again, please. Be careful, though, and don't rush out and buy the parts they may recommend. A cold engine needs more fuel to start than a warm engine. The Engine Coolant Temperature sensor is the primary reporting sensor to the computer on how cold it is. I would like to know what it's telling the computer to see if it's accurate.

What happens if you don't properly reset your engine?

"reset your engine"?? this makes no sense. If you mean what happens if you don't reset your check engine light, then the answer is usually that the car will put itself in fail safe mode or limp mode. Depending on model and what code is causing the check engine light. Either way gas mileage will suffer, and usually car is limited in RPM's and power.


What ism solution and give example?

Your question makes no sense at all, so I will assume you are asking about the Check Engine Light as that is the category you posted the question in. The check engine light is on because the ECU has detected a problem with the emissions system. Have the ECU scanned with an OBD2 scan tool which will retrieve the code that has been set. This code will tell you what part of the emissions system is being effected.

Check engine light is on1998 Isuzu rodeo ls32 v6?

the check engine light means you have something wrong with your emissions. theres something wrong with how your car lets out exhaust. There are sensers on your exhaust pipe that sense how much exhaust is being let out and how much unburned fuel is coming out. There is a computer in your car that senses that and try's to fix it. one of your sensers might be bad or you might have a clogged catalatic converter.


98 Chrysler cirrus wont accelerate over 10mph?

If the check engine light is on get the code read. There is no point trying to diagnose if the light is on. If it is not, it could be a throttle cable problem, or possibly a dirty or bad mass air flow sensor (if equipped). I do not work on many chryslers but i have found these sensors to be problematic in fords (problematic in the sense that they do not always trigger the check engine light when they are bad. I have also run into them setting off the light with a code reading for a bad o2 sensor). This also causes a fuel mix ratio problem.

Can electrical sensors give false reading because of open thermostat?

An open thermostat would keep the engine from heating up to normal operating temperature. The sensors effected can only report what they sense. The "check engine" light may throw a code like "P0116" (engine coolant temperature circuit range/performance problem).


How do you reset the Service Engine Soon Light on a 2005 Nissan Quest?

First you should see what set it off in the first place. Auto zone sells a great code reader for about 120 dollars that will plug into the pin socket under the steering wheel and tell you what code (problem) set off the engine service light. Remember the onboard diagnostic system must sense a problem 3 times before the 'check engine' light comes on. It will then ask you if you want to reset or erase the code.
