Hi All,
Shortly after I replaced the failed AC Temp Sensor, I got a new Check Engine Light. I was able to read the code to be 2 long sweeps and then 2 short ones which I believe is a #22 (Crank Angle Sensor)

What I have been observing is that when cold, the vehicle has been hard to start. It will crank over strong, but I seem to feather the gas a little to get the RPM's up as it sputters etc and then is fine the rest of the time I am driving it. Warm re-starts are not a problem. Only other issue is a slight miss/rough idle in gear only, not yet sure if they are related.

So I read through the MPI manual. For a cold engine, it mentions the fast-idling air valve, but I cannot seem to find this anywhere else in the manual. Section from manual is attached.

It's referring to the Idle Air Control Valve. IAC. It's on the air intake. David

Hi David,
Thanks for that. I pulled it out tonight and cleaned it all up. I really need to pull the throttle body, but will wait for the gasket I ordered to come in the mail.
