This is my final post on this issue so that hopefully, no one else will have this problem. After much reading of the maintenance manual I went to measure the air flow temperature sensor resistance today (part of the Mass Air flow connector) and found that apparently when I reconnected it after installing the starter one of the 2 pins bent over, not making contact or maybe making very poor contact. Why this did not throw a code 24 is beyond me, but it never did. After straightening the pin and reinserting it several times to make certain it had good contact the car has been running perfectly, hot or cold. My take on this - electronic fuel injection is to bleeping complicated, give me back my holley or carter quadrajet carb :) :) :)
