rough Idle

Ok guys,

89 Z24 2.8 auto. Whenever I start the engine and it is cold, it idles horriblle for about the first 30-90 seconds, then smooths out and runs beautifully. The problem is only when the engine is cold.

Re: rough Idle

Coolant temp sensor/cold start injector/Intake air temp sensor-good places to start.
