Rough start
Well she's been doing this for a while, today was the worst.
Haven't cranked it in a week and left the positive terminal on a ground stud while I was doing work off and on for that week.
Finished the work hooked everything back up.
Went to crank and all it did was make some bangs and knock about a cycle or two and shut off.
Usually I can alleviate this by fluttering the gas pedal. Not this time. Went around and checked all the fuses found i forgot to plug my oil sending unit back up.
So anyway second time I flustered the gas pedal and she cranked up. Ran real rough but it eventually smoothed out as you'll hear. Cut it off went to recrank same thing. Wouldn't crank but then fluttered the gas pedal and she ran fan once she got past the rough idle.
So I'm pretty sure this is one of the sensors that is on the throttle body but can't remember which.

Got a trip to Uwharrie planned for tomorrow.
I went ahead and ordered a new TPS & IAC , they've never been replaced in 20years so don't think it'll hurt to just do both.
