EBL P4 Cold Idle Adjustment...
I have a 91 Firebird 305 TPI, with Dynamic EFI's EBL P4 ECM.
When I first got it and pluged it in and started the car, I noticed immedieattly that it had a slightly high rev (cuz of starting) but that within a second or 2, it would really drop down the RPM's quite low (much faster than stock ECM) and there wasn't really much of a problem, because I lived in FL at the time...
Now I live in a much colder climate... So it wants to behave the same way, but since the engine is so cold, when it slows down, it's rough, RPM speeding up / slowing down... the warmer it gets the better that smooths out... and when fully warm, idles perfectly.... I have replaced all the sensors (not recently though).
Is there an adjustment I can tune for to just keep the RPM's higher for longer instead ?
Or is there something else I'm missing ?
Thanks!

Completely unelated but now that I have seen it I can't unsee it.
On the left in your mini bio in the Engine section you have R69. It should be R6P for the Performance Enhancement Group.
