Every so often it fails to start, particularly when cold. 99% of the time it starts fine. Every once in awhile you go out in the morning (time of year is irrelevant) and it cranks and cranks and will not start. Soon you can smell the fuel of a flooded engine. Letting it sit for 24 hours most of the time it will start. Have replaced coolant sensor, plugs, rotor, dist. cap.

Intermittent starting problem started in 2010, we noticed when there was high humidity wouldn't start, repair man would come to our house it would start right off. He replaced fuel pump first then when it kept happening the rotor was replaced. Didn't have any problems for several months, now same problem is starting all over again. This is the best vehicle to be driving in snowy conditions since it is AWD, our other vehicle with FWD is the pits in ice and snow. Would like to find a permanent fix for this problem.
