      +1 for temp sensors.

      I also had a bunch of rough idle problems that were caused by a faulty fuel pressure regulator.

        I had a similar issue, and it turned out to be the spark plug closest to the firewall which I didn't torque down all the way. Dealt w the cold start issue for over a yr until I realized it was just that lol

          The first thing I'd would be to smoke test the engine. It doesn't take much of an intake leak to cause problems. Since the ignition wires are probably well past the point that should have been replaced (10 years or 100k) I'd also immediately replace them.
          The car makes it possible, but the driver makes it happen.

            I changed the temp sensor and sparks about 10k miles ago and the cap and rotor maybe like 1.5k miles ago
