Default Car won't start in AM

2001 225BBQC w/25K miles won't start the last two mornings. It will fire fine but then die out as if it's flooded. If I leave alone until later in day it will start fine. I took into dealer yesterday and they replaced coolant sensor. Same problem this AM. Weather has been in low 40's and humid in AM. Any thoughts?

Default If you're using high octane gas, try going to a lower octane.

People here have said before that the higher the octane rating is, the harder it is to start the car when it's cold. If you're running 93 or higher, try using 91 and see what happens.

Default Assuming you can get something lower than 93 that meets TT's needs

in New England, I can't remember the last time I saw something between 89 and 93

Default What oil are you running? Heavy oil can cause flooding in cold temps

like 20W-50

One reason Audi recommends 5W-30
