Subject:Still running poor when cold...

The story continues...

I posted previously that my 90 runs poorly when cold (no power, rough/low
idle, appears to be moisture exiting until warm) but runs great after a
couple minutes -- great power & 20 mpg. The list consensus was to replace
the temp II sensor. Done. It's behaving the same.

Now for the question: is there another culprit that might be to blame, or
should I begin by checking wires? Some coolant may have splashed on the
connector while I was installing the new one. I let it dry, but could this
leave a film? What's best to clean it with?

Thanks!
