89 corvette long cranking time before fire up

Can you pull the codes?

My 93 (LT1) would crank and crank and fire then stall. Then after a couple of rounds of that would start and run badly. I pulled the codes and it showed that the engine coolant temperature sensor was malfunctioning. Ran through the trouble-shooting table in the FSM and wound up replacing the sensor. It was an hour's worth of work including the troubleshooting and running out for the part.

Best,
Jerry
