yeah I think that's an obvious culprit to address next.

TBH, my BIGGEST hesitation replacing that thing is how much of a monumental PITA to reinstall the glove box. it's always those GD heater vents that will never stay in place.

prob ought to go ahead and change out my Final Stage Resistor while I'm in there. It's bound to go sooner or later.

I don’t remember having to fight with the heater vents and I’ve had to pull my glovebox many times. What is happening with yours? Are you saying they are popping out?

FYI, I never changed the relay. Battery and fuel pump only. And I don't think either one of them was bad. Cold start issue is completely gone. No issues starting whatsoever. It was SOLELY when the temp was below about 25 degrees and this happened 4-5 times.

I still have those fuel trim codes. My smoke machine broke though and i have been 'meaning to fix it' for the past month. Solder repair too tiny for me. I only have two hands and am not that great at the solder. I'll just have to fork over for a new one I suppose and get those smoke tests run.
