Yeah, what exactly is the problem? Hard starting? no start, rough untill it's totally warm, rough for a few seconds then it's okay>

What's the warm Idle speed then? Same as the cold (600-800)?

Not sure what cold-start equipment that car's got - That is to say I'm not sure if it uses a coolant temperature sensor and stepper motor or not. Hmm.:thinking: If it does have a stepper motor it might be worth cleaning it out.
