I agree that this should only cause a momentary hard start condition.
It is on cold start. After the 2nd try I can get it running if I work the accelerator. After about 15 seconds of nursing it, it will idle, roughly, at a slower than expected RPM, until it warms up a bit.

I have been using the FI manual I found refered to on this site. Wonderful document. Checked the function and values for the sensors based on that. I have not checked at the controller which is the best way and probably my next step. I have replaced the engine temp sensor (the front one). Plugs look OK. Wires OK. Timing on. Valves are OK.

I think my very next step is to check the contacts in the throttle position switch. It may not be getting the proper "I'm at Idle" signal.

Thanks for the support as I work through the bugs.
