hard starts p0335 - solved

[2006Limited]

Hello all, long time listener, first time caller...had an issue where it was cranking but hard to start, also stalling, replaced crank position sensor, now the stalling has stopped but it is still hard to start. still have code p0335. Was getting various codes before that, 02 sensor, cat,misfire esp light goes on and off, tends to stutter over about 2100 rpm. will start when cold after 3 or 4 cranks and pushing the gas pedal about halfway. Any ideas? Turns out the sensor wasn't all the way in, took off the o ring to get it in and it worked. Also, I bought 2 sensors, one was a cheap aftermarket that didn't work, the 2nd was a Napa Echlin and that works good.

Nice. Really appreciate the follow through, otherwise the usefulness of these forums starts to get evaporate.
