Subject:Re: Cold start 3 cylinder stalling and bucking idle insanity!!!

Well, I changed the temp 2 sensor and cleaned a few more grounds, but no help.  I actually
got it to idle on its own a little after about 4 starts and revving the gas, but it would surge
and go down slowly-if you put any gas on it and then back off, it would stay at about 2000
rpm rather than dropping back to idle.

I checked the resistance on the old temp 2 sensor and the air intake sensor (temp 1-
terminals 1 and 4 on the MAF), and the resistance was approximately equal and within range
for the conditions 2.5-3.5K @ 69 degrees. Measurements were performed with a crappy
analog meter though so they could still be suspect.

Any other ideas? I'm leaning towards the fuel pressure regulator??? Thanks! Adam
