Engine Troubles ...

[GrandAm95SE]

I own a 95 Grand Am se, with 276k's on it, 3.1L v6, and just lately been havin some engine troubles. where as I would start it in the morning, and it won't want to idle, i have to step on the gas for it to keep running, and the engine light will stay on for about 10-15mins, and during that time it wont want to idle. After the engine light goes off, than the car runs fine. I just replaced all plugs and wires ... any input would be great ... thanks. P.S. - this only happens at a cold start.

I would start at the IAC (idle air control) valve. It acts like a choke used to on a carburetor. It regulates air intake at idle and part throttle. I would also check the EGR valve, as it may be stuck open when the engine is cold, and should be closed until the engine warms up.

yea, the IAC might be the problem...
I talked to a guy who had pretty much the same problem on a 99GA ... switched it out in 5 or so mins.. worked fine
