I'm not sure what year we are dealing with??

Has the engine been tuned-up lately? Maybe check the spark plug wire resistance, replace plugs, inspect rotor/distributor might be in order.

These engines are quite reliable, but on a 20 year old car may need some diagnosis to get it sorted out. I'd start with the temp sensor, then you can check the function of the cold start valve, OPV relay, fuel pressures and try and work things out.

What year is this car?????????
