XK8 won't start in cold
I have an xk8 2004 year. With cold engine, won't start. Insisting on the starter motor, the motor will start in "reduced power". the engine runs erratic with 6 or 7 cylinders for 30 minutes. Restarting the warm engine, the problem no longer exists. What can cause this problem?. Thanks for your help. Feldona

Thank you. I don't know the OBD2 code. I will document, then I update. Diagnostics detects an incorrect number of engine revolutions. the sensor was replaced, the problem remains. Diagnostics detects error in three reels. all the coils were replaced. the wiring has been checked. the problem remains. Thanks for your help. Feldona

Welcome to the forum feldona,
From the symptoms you describe, my first thought would be a faulty ECT (Engine Coolant Temperature) sensor but having the OBD2 codes read first is always the way to begin troubleshooting these cars.

Sorry for not being more specific. Have your battery tested for a load situation. Most auto parts shops will check it for free. My battery did not fail but shown as weak. Several electrical issuers went away when I replaced it.

What is the voltage while the starter is turning? If below about 9.7 volts, a battery issue is in play. Otherwise there is probably something else going on.
