Re: Rough idle when first start up
I'll bite....Have you checked the following:
1. Any Codes?
2. Old or New Injectors?
3. Fuel Pressure readings?
4. TPS Setting?
5. IAC Setting?
6. Timing Setting?
7. Cold Start Injector still hooked up?
8. Cold Start Temp Switch working, (the one at front of intake that controls the Cold Start Injector)?
Is the engine stock, modified, crucified.......you know what I mean.
I could go on but I won't. There's just a lot of variables for "rough Idle"

Re: Rough idle when first start up
No codes
Fuel injectors are new (I think)
Fuel pressure is 80 psi
TPS is good checked it
Didn't check timing and iac
I believe the car is running lean at idle too
And when I first start the car in the morning (it about 80 degrees here) it idles at 1000rpm and then it goes up to 1300 and runs perfect but isn't that to high?
When I drop the idle screw the car runs way to rough

Re: Rough idle when first start up
The engine light comes on when first start up and then when warmed up and running fine **** off back.
