This post on idle stabilization reminded me of something -- my '87 now seems to idle quite well once it is warm, yet, it takes a long time to warm up in Pittsburgh, PA for the system to get off the 'cold engine' mode... Is there an easy setting for what the 'cold' rpm should be, or even just a screw to adjust how much extra fuel is sent to the cylinders when the engine is cold? I do not really like the engine racing at 2200 rpm when it is this cold -- I'd feel a lot more at ease if it idled at around 1500 or so when the engine is cold... Thanks in advance, Cetin
