Idle Problems When Cold - case on Lima Peru (warm climate) 120-130

posted by  someone claiming to be Joaquin Novara on  Wed Nov 16 03:34 CST 2005 [RELATED]

Some time ago, it was my problem also (the wheater on my city is usually warm, for northern standards). My case could be of some help.

After the change of camshaft (the original one was worn), the mean of the cylinder's compression improved from 125 to 160.

Also (due a new manifold gasket related with the cam change) some air leak on the input manifold (a faint hissing) was gone.

Now, rojo need the have the choke open only at starting, and after it, it is closed and I press the accelerator a bit (as some ecologist friend suggest me as a green alternative to leave the choke 1/2" out after starting for a while).

I start to drive after my temperature gauge (a adapted electrical unit) returning to 90 C after pass it a bit (a thermostat open sign).
