Thanks for this tip. I'm going to try this when I get the chance. I'll make sure I have the right gaskets first.

performance chip = $99 this alone when options are chosen right will make the biggest difference as far as idle/temp goes. i elected to run 180 temp "matched with thermostat" and egr OFF.
220,00 miles later, still runs like new...
forgot to mention, it NEVER runs over 180 degrees. even at long red lights...

I ain't got $100 (especially for a $2.00 Eprom) but hey:
If you have tried a few of these and want to sell an old one second hand, with less than optimal features for your own tastes, I woulld be interested!
I believe we have the same engine ( /94 3.4L v6 DOHC)
For others, I'm still using the
"turn key on for 40 secs before starting", and the darn car starts fine now. This seems to heat up the O2 sensor enough to prevent the car from going into "open loop" mode.
I'm wondering if I need a new O2 sensor, or if I just need to clean it off somehow. Perhaps there's an additive or method of burning off junk.
