Several questions and some observations

[doctorpws2004]

Hello all,

Just to put my two cents in; got the frame stiffener put on my 86 Grad and WOW what a difference. Of course, I also put in new red Koni's all around so I guess the improvement is cumulative. I am curious though about the "right" setting for the shocks (my mechanic says they are so stiff, they should all be set to "full soft"). Which brings me to a few questions:
1) First, when someone has multiple questions, is it better to start a new thread for each one or lump them all together? Want to observe the proper etiquette.
2) What do you think about the "full soft" advice? I have the stock (original, I guess) springs.
3) Having some problem with hesitation and no response to pedal when I start from cold but after she warms up, no problem. Cold start sensor problem?
4) I got a new complete heater unit from "rezdoc" on eBay and have been trying to find the thread (I know I have seen it) where there is a multitude of good advice about the odious task of pulling out the old and putting in the new. I must not be using the right keywords for the search engine. Can someone point me to the proper threads?
Thanks for any and all help,

I don't know about etiquette (ask anybody) but I do think it is better for you and for long term searchability of the BB if each question is in its own thread. There's enough ADD and thread hijacking going on that I think the BB works better with more focus rather than less.

I really like the KONI reds on my 92. I think full soft on the rear, a little stiffer up front is the most balanced. I did KONIs and the IAP red springs at the same time and the transformation was amazing.

3) Engine temp sensor is a good guess given your symptoms. First try just removing the connector and claean it up. It could be that simple.
