Subject:      90 hesitates when cold

Now that its turning colder, my 90 tends to sometimes have a hard time starting, or at least idling after it does start. And once I feel as if I have let it warm up sufficiently, it'll try to stall out at the first stop sign/light I come to on my way to work.

I'm fairly sure these symptoms have been covered on the list before, but I have to admit that since it didn't apply to me at the time, I ignored it. Seems to me it had to do with a temp sensor somewhere, but which one and how do I find it.

Also, my van just reached 90,000 miles and its time for a tune up. is there a concesus on whether or not to change out the O2 sensor (the cheapest I could find is $108.). And what else should I tackle while I'm at it (other than the obvious)?

Thanks, Ian --
