TJ, I can't speak for the hard start up portion of your issue - I'm not saying the temp II sensor isn't related to that and I'm not saying it is - I don't know. However, for overall crappy running and other frustrating, intermittent, perplexing, aggravating, different symptom type problems I can attest that it certainly could be your Temp II sensor. I had a lot of problems with my '90, when I had it, with bad, rich running, loss of power - all what seemed to be Vanagon syndrome type issues. Well, I swapped out the Temp II sensor and it all went away - forever. They are cheap (like $4-$5) and easy to replace. Might want to test it like others suggested first - that's probably the right thing to do. However, if it were me - I'd just replace it. Good luck.
