kindasad.gif i thought i finally solved the problem of having a cold start in the mornings if i bought some Iridium Spark Plugs (NEW) and some new Magnecore 8.5mm Spark Plugs wires to boost up the effect, but somehow, i am still getting a cold start still. By cold startl, I mean, i have to floor it a little to keep the engine hot, other wise, it will die out on me. Even my old 1988 honda starts better than my celi...one click it is revs high then idles quickly...can anybody help....i want that nice easy simple start up in the morning like a NEW CAR...just turn and BAM...ignition and ready to go... wink.gif

biggrin.gif Doing this really helped me out with the help of Jeff's pic and guide...if you are having some trouble starting up early in the morning, where the car bogs on and off...

1. Remove the whole Throttle body piece from intake manifold

2. try removing the IAc attached to the throttle body, unscrew the four small screws that holds IAC in place..

3. Clean the IAC with some B-12 Carb formula with a Metal small brush to brush off all the black gunk stuck in the small holes in the IAC...since you are doing this, might as well clean your throttle body and intake manifold to your best ability with some of the Chemical (B-12 Carb formula)

4. Let it dry for 10 minutes and attached everything back together...

This should solve problem...better air flow and suction...stronger the car is at recieving a better idling at higher RPM...

*note: if you are unexperience and don't know much and scared to do it (like me)...it will take a while...more than 4 hours of frustration and anger...because of bolts that won't come lose...if that is the case... use a VICE-GRIP TOOL to get the small bolts/nuts out and replace it with M5-.8 nuts/bolts...preferrably the 5mm x 16 should do the trick...found at home depot...$0.75 On the other hand, if you know what to do, less than 15 minutes for everything to work out fine

**I just took my whole throttle piece to a shell mechanic store to have them help me turn the stubborn nuts/bolts off from my IAC connected to the Throttle Body...using their VICE-GRIP TOOL....didn't charge...they just twist it and turned it out for me... wink.gif

I haven't had the chance to ride it and test it in the mornings...but i will update. REMEMBER, this is just one way to help, if this doesn't help out at all....might be your small THERMOSTATS that's messed up, or some other parts....this took me a while to find the soultions to solve this darn problem...hope it helps you guys...if in doubt, aim me @ chasquare...
