Most likely cause is a failing Coolant Temp. Sender, This sender sends imputs to the ECM for cold start-up, as well as running. I have seen theses fail & not set a code. This causes Hard Starting cold, and rich running on initial start-up, even when warmed up. I second this; I had black exhaust...

Well I mounted up my wheels and tires, ended up going with some 205/65/15's. I am still using the stock struts (one thing at a time eh $$$$) and I actually have the tiniest, tiniest rub on the drivers rear where the side of the tread is ever so gently brushing the undercoat on the strut.

If they're different and you drive it long enough it would smoke the transfer clutches to the rear and bind up pretty bad. Look on the rear diff of your parts donor, there will be a tag on the cover (more ...
