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.
