2005 Mazda Tribute, V6 will not start Sign In

My Mazda V6 has 68,000 miles on it. At times it has been hard to start. My daughter drives the car and said she has fuel odor when not starting. I have changed faulty thermostat and fuel filter. The car now cranks but will not start. it has fuel pressure. My Stinger 3769 reader has recorded codes P1509, P0113, P0118 and P1298. Can anyone help with P1509 and P1298 ? Any input would be greatly appreciated.

Re: 2005 Mazda Tribute, V6 will not start Sign In

P0113 and P0118 deal with IAT (Intake air temp). Although I haven't run into an IAT that would cause hard/no start conditions, it shouldn't be overlooked. Does it start okay when cold, but not when hot? Don't know if your reader has a live data function? Would be interesting to see what the PCM is seeing for actual temperature. If it 'thinks' that it is 30 degrees below zero, it's going to 'dump' fuel, flooding the engine. Couldn't find any data on P1298 and P1509. Probably manufacturer specific codes.

Reader has no live data function but I did check plugs and engine is flooding. Also the Haynes manual I have talks about IAT sensor but does not indicate location. Can you help with this? Should the engine coolant temp (ect) sensor be normally closed or open? Mine appears to be open and I have read this sensor being faulty could cause a no start/hard to start condition.

ECT was in high temp mode. Replaced and now runs like a champ. Also had replaced thermostat. again thanks for your help.
