    93 civic intermittent hard start.
    Vehicle sometimes doesn't want to start after driven and sits for 15min or so. After cranking for awhile smells like gas. When it does start runs fine. It has a coolant temp sensor code. Help

    Replace the Engine Coolant Temperature (ECT) Sensor. It has 2 wires going to it. Drain coolant to just below the sensor and replace. Easy job.
