Car starts when cold (not quickly, but it does start, air temp. 80 degrees), then it is a bitch to keep it going. Once on the road and warmed up it performs beautifully.

I have checked the Aux. Air Valve and it is sucking when cold, plugged when hot.
I replaced the head temp sensor even though the old one tested OK. The new one helped a little, but not near enough.

I have studied Brad Anders' site and can't come up with any other ideas of what to check. I have to believe the ignition system is fine because it runs so well when warm. I have checked timing and dwell and they are on spec.

Any suggestions out there?
