Hello there, I have 4 T2 troopers, 2 of them start and run like Champs, 2 of them have the issue. They will crank and crank but not start. Takes about 20 to 30 minutes to get them going, then they will run all day long and fire up at will every time. It's just the cold start they have a problem with. Since I have 2 that run good, I have swapped every part you can think of from the fuel system to ignition system with no success. I'm pretty stumped and am looking for any advice

Without knowing what you swapped, you'll get a lot of suggestions to check things you've already done. 

Leaking fuel injector could cause the issue by flooding the cylinder(s) with excess fuel.  Run the engine for about 20 minutes.  Let it sit for about 1 hour.  Remove the spark plugs to see if any are wet with fuel.  That cylinder's injector will be the problem.

This one is a stretch:  Fuel pump electrical circuit.  Turn on the ignition without cranking the engine.  Can you hear the fuel pump run for about 5 seconds?  If not, find out why.  That time is priming the fuel system to the injectors.  After the engine starts (from long cranking), a second circuit takes over supplying electrical power to the fuel pump.  If you can, check the fuel pressure on the fuel rail.  That pressure should build to about 40-50 psi from the time the ignition is turned on (before cranking the engine) through the engine start and run.

Apply a little accelerator while trying to start the engine.  If it starts fine, the throttle body needs cleaning or service.

If the intake air temperature sensor or coolant temperature sensor is faulty, that can cause hard starting.  One of them sends info to the ECU to tell it to add more fuel for starting (only if the engine is cold).

After checking these, I'd be at a loss, too.

Without more info, sounds just like our '08 trooper - turned out to be low compression. We had to pull-start it the first time, then it would start all day. When it cooled off we'd have to pull-start it again.

      program will open in old Bud program only/ but will not go in BUDS 2 to let use program ECU problem working on has new engine/ new fuel pump/ injectors/ lines/ sensors/ crank sensor maps/ and new throttle body and injectors. machine starts runs a minute dies/ on 3 rd  try says key not recognized /we put other key in and same thing happens/wait 10 minutes, you can go again/ is there a back door in the program/ also might mention unplug temp sensor and map sensor , it will run a few minutes longer / then die again.

      So I have a Bennche Bighorn 500 that I bought used a couple years ago. Was working fine until this winter when I was plowing and I think it drained the battery. And had a difficult time starting and staying running. Idle seamed really low, and would only stay running if I pushed on the throttle. So I changed the battery, and the acm valve, fuel filter and spark plug it will start up and surgery to 3k rpm but comes back down and dies, unless I give it throttle. I am getting fairly good amount of fuel from fuel pump.  It does spit at stutter right before it dies. What should I try next?

      I replaced the stator on our Bennche 500 because it was not charging. It ran as long as you kept the battery charged. I replaced the stator now it’s not firing. The only problem I found was a wire in the new stator for the crank position sensor was in the wrong place in the plug. I switched it around but still no fire. Putting a meter on those wires and cranking the motor showed no voltage from the crank position sensor. Something I did or a bad “new “ part? Thanks for any ideas.

      I have a Coleman 550.  Was having problems to start with where it would start and then shut off after a couple tries. It would take off and be good. It then got to a point where it would not start at all. I replaced the fuel injection twice the second time I replaced it I noticed a mouse or something had chewed one of the wires that connect the electrical to the fuel injector. . So two-part question first does anybody have a part number for that wire harness?  Second, any other ideas after I fix the wire harness permanently on what could keep it from starting I have gas flow up to the fuel injector.
