Quickie TB Cleaning

[Jeff Hager]

I'll jump in here.

I had a similar problem years ago and I think Grover pointed me to a message to 
help me out.  I found that the car runs rich when cold started (duh) and I was 
just starting it an moving it around in the driveway.  I hadn't driven it any 
distance in 3 months and was moving it to mow or get other cars around in the 
garage.  I had the same symptoms as the initial post.  After moving the car 4 
times and never letting it run more than 30 seconds, it would not start.  It 
reminded me of a flooded carb'd car (strong unburnt smell at the exhaust etc.) 
 My solution was to change the oil and check the other fluids then get fresh gas 
and drive the crap out of it for 50 miles.  Also check the temperature sensor 
but that would typically cause the car to run rich after it was warm.
