Hey so just now starting to get cold here (30-40 degrees F during morning starts). and my car is going nuts lol. its only on cold starts too, so maybe there is a fix, or someones had the problem.
Anyhow i have vids of whats happening on the cold start, and then like 3 mins later when it warms up just a tad and its fine. Only at idle as well, if i gas it even a little bit it just holds around 2k and doesn't jump. Maybe i can just tighten up the throttle cable a little for the winter months? It's fine when warm and driving too, no differences i can notice Cold start up vid  Warmed up (fine)  This post has been edited by mgnt232: Nov 13, 2013 - 5:48 PM -------------------- I've spilt my heart into this car :) And I don't ever plan to stop  - 6GC for Life - >Semper Fi< 1994 Cupra :p 3sgte 1995 Celica ST DD 1969 Chevelle SS alllll balls.

Also Check the throttle cable and make sure its not getting stuck or keeping the throttle opened somehow. Also check your TSP connector to make sure its not disconnected. Hope this helps.

the throttle cable isn't stuck. I took a look over everything today.
tightened the cable just a tad too. it was like 80 here all day so it wasn't acting up at all.
