Hard to start with rough idle

[4x4white03]

Already posted in the Garage, but I know I sometimes have a tendancy to only troll the year-specific forum..... Pathy is hard to start and has a rough idle, checked the cam, crank, and coolant sensors, all check good. Only way I can get it to start is stand on the gas while it is cranking, and probably get through 6-8 revolutions before it starts up. If you have any insight, please let me know. Thanks!

Dirty MAF sensor?

That or maybe a throttle related thing? I know when mine was out it ran like crap! My throttle position that is.

Throttle position sensor? Might try cleaning the throttle body and the sensors before replacing anything.

 

No codes?

Really clogged fuel filter? Even if it isn't it's a good thing to change fairly often (every 2 years or so).

Replaced the filter a month ago thinking that may be the problem. Do not have any codes and no CEL. Cleaned teh MAF and didn't have any noticeable improvement. I would much rather have a code so I know where to go, but this is starting to piss me off!!!

Hasn't been mentioned.... plugs? I know that back one is a beach to get to....when I replaced all 6 of mine, it looked like the last guy didn't replace the back one.

 

However, I lean toward TPS. Throttle Position Sensor.
