Poor Idle when cold
 
My car idles really low maybe at around 500 rpm when cold and as it warms up it comes to a normal 900-1000 what could be happening?
It also has a lot of gas smell when starting
I have a freshly rebuilt stock WUR

Two thoughts.
You really need to verify your cold pressure. This requires specific gauges /fittings.
Also you need to check your auxiliary air valve is working - ie is opening when the vehicle is cold. This lest the extra air in your engine may be looking for.

what year is your car and Is your car stock and does it have any of the smog stuff on it , and do you have a dual vacuum distributor, I had the same problem as did J930 here on pelican and I was able to help him out on this subject, Your WUR and AAV may fine, Let me what we are working with first an if you have a pic of your engine bay would help,

My car is an '81 and is completely stock, I think my problem is the AAV it is not opening completely, I replaced it with a used one I bought but it is still not working properly, where can I source a good one?

Jose, before replacing parts you should verify function.
- Verify the voltage getting to both WUR and AAR.
- Remove the AAR, note % open, place in refrigerator and again note % open.
- Put gages on CIS and verify cold pressure and system pressure are in spec.
- Verify no vacuum leaks.
- Verify the cold start injector is not leaking.
I assume it is hot where you are. If the cold pressure is a touch low or the CSI is leaking you will have these symptoms. AAR malfunction will reduce idle but not cause rich smell.
