Well I've been having starting problems when my engine is cold, even cool it is hard to start. My coolant temperature sensor is out, could this be the cause of it? any input would be great, thanks, neil

UUUMMM a little info on what your working on would be helpful?:)

[Which 450?]

would be nice if we had more details, but YES, having that out, since the computer is reading infinite resistance on that circuit it will be reading extreme hot or cold so the computer is putting out an extremely rich or lean fuel mixture.
