hard start issue

[George]

Sounds like the Idle Stabilization Valve (ISV) might be sticky, or something
else in the throttle body controls is hanging on cold start. I just went
through the ISV cleaning drill with a vast improvement in starting and
idling correctly, both cold and hot. This could also be a symptom of a
gunked up throttle plate - all easily cleaned with carb cleaner.........
