Good evening,

Why did you replace the sensor?

What is the code that is set?

What kind of noise is the shifter making? Can you upload a video of the noise for me?

No codes now. No light. Had a vacuum hose unplugged, but i'm have cold start problem again and the idle rpm's are really low; 500 barely running.

Okay, the first thing I would do is check the fuel pressure to be sure the pump is supplying enough fuel when cold.

Everything working now. clogged air valve.. but now when i start it it idles fine for 3 seconds then raises to 1,500/2,000 rpm's. i replaced IAC 3 weeks ago so it shouldn't be that. no engine light.

Pull off the wires to the IAC and see if the idle is normal. What valve was clogged?
