'885KCSTQ Long cranking above 75 F ambient temp. (Was:KNOCK SENSOR

It is not you knock sensor, although that should be addressed.

Replace your fuel injectors - they leak down when they age.

Hi,
	I have now recognized that my seemingly intermittent, long
cranking (10 sec) followed by a stumbling, 250 rpm start with 1/2 throttle
opening (5 sec) followed by normal rpm  and normal running and driving
really occurs only when the outside air temperature is above 75-78 F

(24-25 C).
	My only fault code is 2142 (knock sensor). <snip>

Could this be fuel pump or filter related???

Thanks for help,
Lou
