might have been fuel vapor lock, could be anything really.

QUOTE (Smaay @ Dec 9, 2015 - 9:12 AM)  might have been fuel vapor lock, could be anything really. On a return fuel system under 30-40 psi in winter in Texas?  Possible IAC sticking, possible coolant temp sensor issue causing an excessively rich or lean condition at start, those would be my guesses. -------------------- |
