Re: [DML] High RPM until it warms up

Have you checked the connection to the warm-up thermistor? It is 
hard to get to under the intake manifold but it can be done. Also, 
the poor cold acceleration issue could be the vacuum hoses on the 
warm-up regulator or the warm-up regulator itself. If these pieces 
are working correctly a cold run is a non event. BTW the fast idle 
signaled by the thermistor is 850-900 RPM, not 1500.
