Well i have been rebuilding a truck for about 2 months now: REWIRING EVERYTHING, NEW DASH, NEW INTERIOR, KIND OF NEW ENGINE AND TRANNY.
EVERY TIME I FIX SOMETHING ANOTHER PROBLEM STARTS
NOW MY PROBLEM IS AT START UP WHEN THE ENGINE IS COLD.
I START HER UP SHE RUNS A PRETTY HIGH IDLE AND THEN STARTS CHOKING NEARLY TO THE POINT THAT SHE DIES AND SOME TIMES SHE DOES.
ITS LIKE SHES ALMOST RUNNING OUT OF GAS OR SOMETHING.THIS ONLY HAPPENS WHEN THE ENGINE IS COLD. ONCE SHES WARMED UP THE PROBLEM IS GONE!!! IF I START THE ENGINE WHILE ITS WARM IT DOESN'T HAVE THE PROBLEM.
ANY IDEAS?????

it could even be a small vac leak, colder air would make it act up more. thats all i can think of right now. my old 2.0L ranger would do that, i wanted to drive it into the river! finally found the leak on a downward facing vacuum fitting. i was so happy! it ran like new after that.
