Mike,

I've done all you suggested to KP and the cold starting time has decreased significantly but the engine dies if I don't manually keep the throttle open to 1000+ rpm when starting cold. Additionally, just after it's started, I have to keep goosing the throttle because the computer(?) won't maintain the idle at 750 - when engine temp is not at operating temp. After nominal engine temp is reached, constant idle is maintained by the ECU, I think.

I haven't ruled out FP yet, but I do hear it energize on ignition key ON (more of a clunking instead of a whirl.) Once on the open road, no cutouts or engine sputtering - runs fairly smooth. It has pickuped a serious hesitation and bucking if I try to re-accelerate too rapidly from a stop or after a turn - a *smooth* acceleration does not cause the hesitation symptom.

Any thoughts?
