Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii

so for the last month i had been having this problem,
van would not idle when cold without the foot on the
gas to warm it up, ran just fine when warm...replaced
a few parts that could have been causing the problem,
no help...so last night as i was poking around i
decided to check my grounds on the left rear head, i
had been avoiding this as the a/c compressor is in the
way and they looked fine from above...so i get them
out, and they are pretty dirty, and one wire from the
hall sender is opened up...taped up the wire, used
steel wool to get the contacts clean, and you know
what? the darn thing will idle now! it still likes to
warm up a bit before driving, but it is nice to be
able to warm it up without sitting in it! now i have
to think of another nick name besides box of sh*t...oh
well...thanks to all who have tried to help.
