[Fwd: Hesitation off the line when cold.]



It figures. I need to remember that although I have a reasonable good
handle on the type 43/44 chassis, I don't know spit about much else...


4kq's don't have them.  But I don't have anything more profound to offer
other than maybe test idle switch, clean air plate and cone, and general
engine housekeeping.

Also, when you say "over-riching" the mixture, since whent he car warms
up this is impossible, ecu/oxs return the mixt to correct, perhaps
leaving it a little rich when cold could be the cure?  What does the DPR
current read durig warm up and then when qarm?
