Yesterday I’ve been driving around all day long in the rain it’s been raining for several days. In the evening after the car was sitting in a parking lot for an hour I came out and it refused to start would crank run for one, two or 3 seconds and then shut off. After about 20 attempts it ran for 6 seconds, vary rough and quit. So the next start attempt I depressed the pedal slightly and it caught, keeping it at 950 or 1000 rpm, anything less I would feel bad misfires and would see grey smoke from tail pipe, It would try to die if I let it idle around 750 until about 5 minutes warmup. Temp at that time would be about 60C And still idle rough, but less rough. At full 90C warmup, i don’t feel misfires, no smoke. Turning car off and immediately back on, it starts right up without depressing the pedal after it has fully warmed up to 90C. I don’t have a scanner yet so no codes, but I do not get a MIL light on the dash. 152000 miles. Since last night, it has the same starting problems when cold and I have to depress the pedal slightly. I really need to get a Star or scanner, but which I don’t know yet and carry it with me all the time.

Any thoughts on the issue?

could there be a code for this issue that doesn’t throw a MIL?
