Joe,
No the Van does not start with starting fluid in cold weather. It is a cold weather issue. The Van always starts in temps above 25 degrees.
My husband said he knows where the crank sensor is
and if it is dirty or loose then one would think why would it work when the outside temperature rises above 25 degrees?
Just so you know- we use dry gas in winter months
in all of our vehicles.
So the next question would be does cold weather affect the crank sensor?

THe temp can affect many things. I need you to check to see if there is spark when the engine doesn't start. We need to determine that is the problem. If it doesn't start with starting fluid, chances are there is no spark.

Let me know.

Hi there,

Thank you for the donation,

You will have to get the actual fuel pressure reading check, we must know if you have fuel pressure and good flow before going any further with a diagnosis.
