Unhappy Hesitatation when cold


I have a 95 extended cab with a 4.9 I-6 that hesitates when cold. It seems to happen under light throttle conditions and then it goes away after it warms up (around 5 mins). Could my fancy Auto Zone Code reader tell me anything ?


Thanks

Welcome to FTE.

Your code reader will probably give you some codes. It could be a faulty sensor somewhere. The computer doesn't kick in until the engine is warm, and then it probably compensates for the bad sensor.

Get the codes and let us know what you get.
