Does the RPM gauge register rpm while cranking? If not it is a sign of a bad Camshaft position sensor.

Also you want to verify that the coolant gauge is reading correctly (if the coolant sensor was "stuck" at 190 degrees, for example, the engine would be hard to start in 30 degree weather, and a code would not be set).

Lastly, you can test that the fuel injectors are receiving voltage to fire by using an inductive voltage tester (for checking for AC voltage). This tool looks like a pencil shaped device with an led light that lights up when you touch the tip of the tool to a wire with current running through it.

So, he's still dicking with this thing, he's watched the video but hasn't figured anything out yet. Thanks for posting the video. Once we get it figured out I'll come back and let everyone know what it ended up being, hopefully it will save someone else a headache! Thanks again!

P.S. Yes it does register RPM's
