Sorry, but since you could not wait 17 minutes for a typed response to your very first post, we are all going to keep it secret.





EDIT: You may have an issue with your crank sensor

Welcome to this forum! I've renamed your thread, and moved it into the stock 95-01 section. Check the ECT sensor.
