help!! im stumped...when its cold out..anything below 50 degrees, it will turn over but wont start. after about 6 tries, it will sputter, after 10 tries, it will start and run on what seems to be a cylinder or two for a few seconds...after several of these tries,5 or more minutes and it sputtering a few times, it will snap out of it and run fine! i have went through all the grounds,replaced the iac valve, the ect sensor and still no luck. it seems that as soon as the engine temp goes above a certain level, it runs fine....this all started happening after i changed my valve cover gaskets??? after that the dash temp gauge died and this cold start problem surfaced....any ideas are welcome
