Sorry for the lack of info gentlemen; the van is a 98', I have a code reader that comes up clean for everything except a slipping tranny once in a while. I removed the coil and tested it, good to go; Also removed the distributor and had ALL within tested, came back golden. There was water running do...

hello again everyone; I have been having a starting problem. When I drive the van on warm to cool days (30 degrees to sub-zero temps) and park it in the driveway, it sits all night then will crank but not start.
