My GT has trouble starting usually, because I need to hold the accelerator for like 5 seconds, but after that, on a cold start I usually idle around 500 rpm, then to 700 rpm.

Replace your coolant temp sensor with a brand new one or flush the radiator with prestone. -------------------- God made man....

Replace your coolant temp sensor with a brand new one or flush the radiator with prestone. I recently replaced my radiator, and burped it for a good 20 minutes or so. What would a coolant temp sensor have to do with starting the car and holding the accelerator? The car always idles beautifully and never has any problems starting when warm, only cold starts -------------------- Brand new 6gc owner! (sort of 2011)
