Mine does the same thing when it's cold. 98.5 SVT 91 Escort GT (almost sold) 96 ATX Zetec (i brake to watch you swerve) FS: SVT rear sway bar WTB: Very cheap beater CEG Dragon Run - October 13-15

So far I've replaced: IAC Valve EGR Valve & Solenoid IAT sensor PCV and some connecting hoses which fixed a number of other problems except for this. ECT measured good, but I'll give it a try since I'm out of ideas. Tiv
