Hey man, why dont you give me a quick run down of everything you have done and checked and know is okay at this point, casue through all of this theres alot of confusion and i dont know where to start anymore, ha.
i also wanted to point out that in my previous post that i said my 02 Sensor on the Upstream B2S1 was bad, i was wrong. i recently had my alternator go out and i replaced the ALt, my battery (under warrenty from NAPA) and i regrounded everything added a few new grounds and repplaced all my wires. My 02 code went bye bye.. so mabey it was a ground prblem, and since then the car has been responsive as all get out, as well as my fuel eco. increasing. so just some food for thought, if your grounds havent been taken care of in the last 200,000 miles you might wanna get to looking in that direction, haha
.
also, i can sympathize with you, i am a college student and i hate getting up early... but i try to start the car at least 5 mins ahead of time in the morning, rather than running her in 2nd gear til she warms up haha. but why not try doing that for a week and see if theres a Signifigant Increase or if were looking in the wrong direction.
