Subject:      Stalls when Cold
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1

Ok, now for a more serious question. My '90 has been having a rough time getting going when it's cold. It starts right up but I have to sit and give it some gas for a couple of mintues or it stalls out. Sometimes it will idol without stalling (although roughly) but stalls when I put it in gear. Once it warms up a bit and "wakes up" it's fine. No other problems. This only happens when it has been sitting for a few hours or more.

Any ideas? My friend Brien did mention the cold start valve to me a while back - could that be it?

-- Thanks,
