I am having an issue with my 96ex When I start the car it sputters for about 30sec - 1min and then stops. I replaced the plugs 10k ago did not change wires. I have cleaned the maf sensor. I did not reset the computer . anyone have any ideas.
Thanks
 






Only when cold? Or does it do this on warm starts, too?

I'd suggest cleaning the IAC.
 






when warm as well as cold. I cleaned the IAC too. Do I need to reset the computer?

IMO, anytime you unplug a sensor, disconnect the battery for 20 mins or so to rest everything. at least i do anyways.

not sure if that will solve your problem, all you can do is try, right?
