New to TPI so any information will be helpful. Just bought a 1989
formula 350. When starting cold engine you have to give it gas
as soon as it starts or it will die. Sometimes you may have to start
car 2 or 3 times before it will keep running on its own. Once started it will fast idle until either time or temp. sensor tells computer to idle motor down. Once motor is warmed up it will
run fine. If you put car in gear before it is warmed up and idled
down it will die. Thanks in advance for any help with this problem.

If I read right, you just bought your car? Then its good double times to check those 'small things' like fluids, hoses and stuff... Sorry if yer not new to that at all and already did that, I'm just trying to prevent people from what happend to me

 

It's from the v6 world, but you should run through my major tuneup. Only difference between our v6 MPFI's and your v8 TPI is that you have 8 plugs, 8 wires, and 8 injectors; we have 6 of each. <a href="https://www.thirdgen.org/techbb2/showthread.php?s=&threadid=162251" target="newwin">Click here for the Major Tuneup.</a>
