Re: sometimes rough idle on start then dies

Both the ECM and the temperature warning light use the same sensor (if your car has a temp guage, there will be a separate sensor for the guage too). I would check the wiring to the CTS (Coolant Temperature Sensor) first and if it checks out, I would say it's time for a new sensor.

The CTS is mounted in the intake manifold on the passenger side, and it screws in horizontally with a 2 wire oval connector.
