The car, 1974, retains its original FI. Fires up no problem, but, until it warms up it almost dies as the rpm is almost zero, or, it almost dies until the temp bumps up.
When warm it is a nice 800/900 rpms and idles nicely.

I tried to do a search but it never works for me as the website is beyond my mortal understanding.

Thanks for the explanation of ts2.........I didn't know either.

Welp, I removed the cold start valve, did some cleaning which all I could do is soak the one end of the valve for a while. Re-assembled, fired it off and BAM, as nice smooth cold start idle.

But, I do need to redo the remaining vacuum hoses as I ran out of hose sizes. This is the car that sat for a very long time else where. The hoses are brittle, not good.

Will see if the smooth idle works today.

Side note, I checked on several sites the cost of a new cold start valve (IMG:style_emoticons/default/blink.gif)
What the?

I now understand why folks go the carburation

NOOOOO, you understand better why FI is better! You have it backwards. Tweak in the FI, and harmony. Tweak in carbs and the dance continues.
