A couple weeks back I fixed the hard-starting issue by replacing the ECT sensor, and cleaned the throttle-body while I was at it. This also shut off the check engine light, and she's now happily running out of limp mode
Then cleaned the MAF thoroughly, disassembled and cleaned the air intake box, and replaced the engine air filter.
I was pleased with myself for fixing Wagatha's starting troubles, and that feeling lasted until she warmed up. Idle was up and down, all over the place... looks like I'll be cleaning the IAC and saying a prayer to the car gods. Hopefully I didn't break it while fiddling with the TB. Also need to replace the water pump in the next few days.
