3.2 Cold Start Rough Running
 
I have a 3.2 that has had cap, rotor, wires and plugs replaced within the last 200 miles. but upon cold start it runs pretty rough. once it warms up it runs fine.
before i go tearing in, what do you guys think i should look at first? maybe there is something common on the motors that would cause that.
i was thinking o2 sensor, cht sensor, sweep arms inside afm, idk. just ideas
thanks

First thing, re torque your intake runner bolts. They get loose over the years. Allows air to get into the cylinders causing tough starting.. you will need a foot pound torque wrench from harbor freight. And the correct size allen to go on the wrench. Cheap! I think the torque is about 18 foot pounds but double check.

Then check for vacuum leaks.

Easy vacuum leak check with carb cleaner sprayed at base of manifolds while at rough idle.
