I have a 1995 Talon, just bought it, non turbo obviously. The problem I'm having is that the car has a really hard start. I usually have to turn it over several times, and putting the gas pedal to the floor seems to help. I am getting a code 23 and 25 (23- air intake temp sensor, 25- target idle not reached). There is no air intake temperature sensor. I'll pick up a new one, but would this cause my car to start so hard? Once started, the car seems to run/drive fine, but I haven't driven it much because of the issue starting it.

This is what I have done so far:
check for fuel and spark
clean IAC
replace fuel filter


The car has a built engine, it has 272 cams in it, a Venom intake manifold, and a Modern Performance throttle body. These are the aftermarket parts worth mentioning, as they may or may not be relevant to the issue I'm having.

Any help that anyone can provide will be very appreciated. This is my only car, and not being able to use the car is becoming quite problematic. Thanks in advance!
