The problem occurs every morning. Prior to starting this morning I
unplugged the connector from the ECU and measured the sensor resistance.
Then plugged it back into the ECU, made my post about the measurement,
went outside, started the van -- it started poorly then figured it out,
ran my errands, and came back. It will start fine the rest of the day.
