Hey everyone. I need some help. When I crank up my car in the morning it dies right away. I crank it again and it cranks perfectly. This started happening when I changed the plugs, cables, cap and rotor. It had 3 different kinds of plugs when I removed the old ones. Anyone have any idea/past experience with this problem? Thanks

did you make sure you gapped your plugs right?

How many times have you tried to cold start it after swapping cables (I assume you mean battery cables)?

You might have needed an adaptive correction which was lost upon the KAM being cleared (via the battery being disconnected for awhile). If so, it might relearn the correction factor.

Yes, they were all gapped correctly to factory specs. I replaced the spark plug wires not the battery cables. Is it maybe the IAC?
