2008 Camry 4 cyl - Battery is fine but wont start intermittently on cold mornings

Asked by GuruXGW8S Nov 29, 2018 at 08:47 PM about the 2008 Toyota Camry XLE

Question type: Maintenance & Repair

2008 Camry with good battery.  Only very intermittently on a cold morning, it will
crank over just fine but not start.  OR sometimes it might start for a second or
two and shut off and then not start again.  Once the day warms a bit, it will start
fine.  It won't show any codes when running afterwards.  Replaced the mass
airflow sensor - no joy.  I'm thinking maybe the idle air control valve next?

My Sienna 2002 did this about every 5 years. No codes but hard cold starts. Cleaned throttle body and IAC and it fired right up.
