hard to start

I have a 94 Ranger w/ 2.3L I just bought. Hit it up on a code reader key got back EGR not opening or closing. I took it off and fixed it and am not getting that code but it is still doing the same thing. The codes I am getting now are engine coolant temp sensor (ECT) voltage too high or too, and vehicle speed sensor (VSS) signal too low. I have changed plugs, wires, and fuel filter. What it does is it is hard to start and when it finally starts it stumbles like it is running on 2 or 3 cylinders. It clears up and it runs almost perfect except when I rev it up it will stay at about 1500 rpm’s then the idle will come down to normal. Can anyone help me with some suggestions, thanks.

This forum sucks when asking for help. No help on my thread and clearly no help on your thread. Definitely not the ultimate ranger resource.
