Ok fellas, here’s the run down Aux Air Regulator (AAR) and Cold Start Valve (CSV)/injector both work fine. Many of you have also been keeping up with my high idle issue that we figured out.
But yet, when the car is cold, i.e. room temp, I don’t get the high idle I should on start-up. Instead she cranks a bit and then lumbers to life. Idle lopes around 700-800rpm and then smooths out as it warms. In all other aspects of operation, the engine seems to be pretty happy. Thoughts? Experience?

I would add that mine starts right up and it does take a minute or so before I notice the aar making a difference. I put a valve on mine and often I just leave it closed (taking the aar out) since the car runs just fine without it in the summer. I am starting to see some more benefit now that it is getting colder. I would suggest the valve addition to anyone. It really is nice to have when troubleshooting and for setting the max idle when aar is on.
