1975 1.8L Ljet injection. Car is hard to start. It takes 3-4 tries and some time a shot of starting fluid. Fuel pressure gauge reads 30 lbs. in engine compartment. The rpm rises to 1800 rpm for about 15 seconds, then the idle hunts between 500 rpm and almost stalling out. After the engine warms up it runs and starts as normal. Vacuum hoses are tight. Comments?

If the cht is unplugged, it goes full rich. Not his problem. The aar stuck closed will not let in auxiliary air (the aa in aar) when cold to compensate for the extra fuel added by the ecu from the signal from the cht.

Geezer, unplug the hose from the out port of the aar and start the engine cold. If it idles up and runs fine cold, then the aar is faulty.
