i took the throttle body off, cleaned that up along with all the sensors.
it does start when cold. so it's not the fuse. i have checked the coil
wire along with all the spark plug wires. i think you're right with either
of those sensors or the pcm. but i don't have a scan tool and the computer
code key check doesn't work for some reason. it used to... how would i
check each of those sensors?? or just start replacing... i thought about
paying the $60 or whatever for the diagnostic check and then possibly
replace the problem myself... i have a fsm for my truck, but it says to use
a drb scanner to check these sensors... i may have to invest in one after
this ordeal is over...
thanks...
