bad idle!
i recently rebuilt my 1991 legacy 2.2l and when i start it up in the mornings it will die? i already replaced the coolant temp sensor. but still acts the same. when the car is warm it runs fine.

Re: bad idle!
Sounds like an Idle Air Control valve issue, most commonly referred to as IAC. There are many posts around here regarding IAC problems, in fact there is one about 7 posts below this one entitled Startup Question... Try a search for IAC + idle or + clean, there are many posts covering it and you will probably find what you need, you'll probably have other questions about it after you have read about it too, I know I did.
