Re: STS not start running if weather is warm or engine is very warm!

OK - It appears that you have a 1999 model year car registered as a "2000" - very common in Europe. If your engine has spark plug wires and 4 visible coils it is a 1999 model and that's the year you need to buy parts for.

The 1999 engine is NOT - nowhere near - the same as the 2000 and later.

The Ambient Temperature Sensor is attached to the hood latch brace in front of the A/C condenser/radiator. 2-wire connector. May get moisture inside - if it is not reading correctly now - it has a DIC readout.

If your engine exhaust smells of gasoline you may have either a vacuum leak, an ignition miss or a sticky fuel injector.

Fuel delivery is controlled by the PCM with inputs from many sensors such as (but not limited to) TPS, ECT, MAF, MAP, Ambient temp, IAT, O2.

Re: STS not start running if weather is warm or engine is very warm!

thanks for the replies! my car did not have any fault code, if it were so it would be easy to look for the fault of the importance of the sides below with electronics? if there's ignition enhancer? or something?
i mean under ignition coil,what is there?

Change the FPR - on the right rear leg of the fuel rail. (MAYBE the fuel pump assembly has a bad supply check valve, but that's doubtful.)

The 45 psi at Key: ON is perfect BUT that pressure should hold at about 40 psi after the 2 second fuel pump proveout/prime cycle. As soon as you turn the key to START the pump runs, fuel pressure again rises, and as the engine catches and comes up to idle speed the pump latches to constant RUN.

If the FPR inner diaphragm is even partially ruptured, with no fuel pump RUN the pressure drops instantly.

Might want to check the FPR before replacing it, but if your pressure drops that fast, I'd almost bet the diaphragm has more than just slightly tear.
Just pull the vacuum line off of the FPR at idle and look for fuel at the nipple. There should be none.
