max sitting all winter, same stalling issues
i put my recharged battery back in and maxy started right up. she has to warm up, no codes and then she'll boogie down the street no problem. i thought about sea foaming or should i manually clean out the intake? i'm pretty sure 1 or more coils need replacing, and i'm thinking about replacing the original 294, 000 tps sensor with the new one i have in the trunk. pretty sure maf is ok, have yet to look at the air filter. in what order should i do these things, or doesn't it matter. not a rookie, but this car has seen better days and i want it to run right again

So it needs to warm up before it runs right?
Let's start with the part which controls idle as the car warms up. The Intake Air Control Valve.
it acts like the choke plate in the old carb cars.
I'd remove and clean the iacv with carb spray.
I'd also clean the throttle body with throtte body cleaner and an old toothbrush. Dirt around the sided of the throttle plate affects idle.
Don't bother with magic potions in a can yet.
Why would you replace coils if there are no codes.
Same with the throttle position sensor.
