you should be a director with that footage.

sound is great, although your engine don't sound to great

It takes about two minutes of cranking before it finally starts. Runs great after it ides for a couple of minutes. Wow I never though about being a movie director. LOL. Camera phones and low light are the secret to quality movies.

I would look at trying a new MAF sensor, as well as inspecting the wire for the coolant sensor, hopefully you replaced the ECU temp sensor and not the guage one. Do you give it throttle on startup at all?

I'm sure I replaced the right sensor. Its on the passenger side back of the intake. I haven't checked any of the wires or voltages on the sensor yet . I've got some pretty good info from the library just haven't had a lot of time to do any testing lately.

there's two sensors back there. Single wire is for the gauge, and the double wire is for the ECM.

Mine did something weird today. Wife started car, fired right up, then realized she used her key not mine. She turned it off, and went to restart it, and it wouldn't restart. I come out and it cranks and tries to start. I open the gas pedal a few times, and it fires back up. Started fine so far today. Not sure why it did that, unless maybe IAC had a brain fart.

It was the two wire one I changed. Mine cranks and cranks starts after off and on cranking for a couple of minutes. Hitting throttle doesn't seem to help as a matter of fact it somtimes sounds like a real faint backfire when hitting the pedal.
