Did you make another thread of this I think you did cause I posted in the other one. Thats a no no ,but whatever. I figured out what it was the cold start time switch and that is the right answer. Its a temperature feed to the ecu to pump up the fuel a little higher until it reaches its operating temp. Your going to have to check the wiring harness to see if it was cut out. The older model SC's have that because the 95 and up does NOT have a cold start injector and is just bumps up the flow on the regular injectors. The other sensor is for the gauge.

SLOW SC3 is that your pic or some random girl?
