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'm using the forceps to see if the engine wants a richer mixture on cold start. If the forceps result in a higher cold start rpm, then my working theory will be that the engine is too lean on cold start. If the engine struggles even more with forceps on, then the AAR is not providing enough air.
We'll see... It could also result in not a damn thing lol.... |
