Hello all, new and proud. Wanted one of these cars for 8 years and finally snagged one thanks to a member on here that is a really good friend on the outside of the forum. Picked the car up and noticed a day later that it has a rough idle and when it's cold it bogs down nasty on full throttle. Once the car is fully warmed up it still has a weird slight rough idle, but you can full throttle it. Boost fine and runs great. The previous owner set the TPS and checked timing to a T on it. Re did all the vacuum lines on it as well. I did some searching on here and found that the coolant sensor by the oil dipstick could be culprit. Curious before I really tear into this car and restore it if there is anything else to check into so I don't have to keep going back and forth with it. Thanks in advance!
