I have replaced the Throttle Body, fuel rail sensor, fuel pump regulator, MAF sensor, fuel filter, fuel pump relay in the fuse box, and the air filter. The engine cranks but will not start cold unless I use starting fluid. Once it starts it runs great, smooth, lots of power and no issues and I can drive for hours. When I stop for 15 - 20 minutes it will still start good - however when it cools down it fails to start again unless I use starting fluid., Acceleration is excellent and no hesitation or loss of power. Is there something else that can cause this issue ? Could the coolant temperature sensor or crank shaft position sensor cause this ? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
