4kq runs rough when cold

[Huw Powell]

most likely the temp switch on the underside of the top coolant hose -
tells the ecu engine temp so it can compensate for cold conditions with
more air and fuel.  I forget what its resistance values are suppsoed to
be cold/hot right now but I'm sure someone else could find it in their
Bentley.
