My car, cold, it starts. Not very well, but it starts immediately and hesitates then slowly gets you to idle speed. I think I have a cold start valve issue here, and I'm ordering a temp sensor for the cold start valve as I applied voltage to the cold start valve and it seemed to open. Not sure how to check temp sensor though I did take it out, it shows 0.600 +/- 0.100 on either pin to ground and will not change with heat applied.

Anyway, when my car is hot and been sitting, I start it, it catches, I stop cranking when I hear it catch, and then it dies right away.

THEN, I have to crank it for like a solid 10 seconds before it starts to catch and then it SLOWLY hesitates and limps along for a few seconds before I get that stable idle like nothing is ever wrong. If I press the gas that speeds up that process (getting to a stable idle).

Oh yeah, I did find my OVR and checked the fuse, (was hoping it was blown), looks like new so no luck there...

Anyone PLEASE HELP!!!
