Much thanks to everyone for your advice so far. I REALLY want to try and solve this darn problem so my car would be CONSISTENTLY starting in the cold.

I have been looking into the advice of all the previous posts so far and I have come up with KOEO codes that refer me to possible causes of concern. The three possible causes are: 1) ECT sensor problems 2) Wire harness problems and 3) ECA problems.

Being relatively new at doing this type of car work, could anyone advise me on what the ECT and ECA actually do? I know that ECA stands for the Electronic Control Assembly, but what does ECT stand for? Lastly, what would be the most efficient way on repairing the above 3 listed problems.

Once again, thanks for everyone's advice so far and would greatly appreciate more.
