    Back sometime this last spring someone said that my SC2 was running like
    crap when it was cold because the coolant temp sensor was bad and that I
    should change the PCV valve right away too because these things are
    notorious for going bad. Well I just changed both of them today and what a
    difference! I drive the car last night and vowed I would get it fixed one
    way or another. I never drive the car so I never imagined how lousy it would
    rumble when cold and purr when warm. So I owe a thanks to who ever gave the
    advice I didn't heed until today!

    I had suspected the Torque Axis Mount but the car was smooth when warm and
    didn't seem to be separated. Oh well....thanks again!
