Please let us know what happens.

Yep it was filthy cleaned it all up now it starts up great. Thanks for the guides they really helped me. Can I ask where the engine coolant sensor is?

No.7 is the coolant temperature sensor and no.9 is the idle air control valve-See below

Check out the diagrams (Below). Please let us know if you need anything else to get the problem fixed. Cheer

I have been trying to figure out what is the deal with this car for awhile now. I have done a full tune up, plugs wires filters oil, everything. It has an egr fault code in the computer and the check engine light is on. Some times in the morning a takes a little extra to get it started and occasionally I need too give it a little gas to keep it going. Any help you could give me it would be deeply appreciated.

Fix the EGR code and test the coolant temperature sensor and the idle air control valve/throttle position sensor.
