She no like-a cool weather start up

[Richwro1]

Now that the blast furnace summer is over in TX, I noticed that my 87 3.2 carrera starts right up and immediately goes to full stall then bumps up on RPM's and back to stall, then stall. I have to start it again and keep pumping the gas peddle a bit until it catches and then it will begin to idle fine. Starts right up any time after that until it sits overnight again.

So far I have:

Cleaned the ICV
Replaced my Main Montronic Relay under the seat with my spare

Still does it....any other thoughts to try?

Thanks

Vacuum leak?

[Richwro1]

Hummm..didn't think of that one. Well, I'll check on that also. Anyone know of a Motronic troubleshooting guide for conditions like this?

Thanks all

After she is warmed up to 194F or close, remove the oil cap. If the idle drops that is good, if not then you definitely have a vacuum leak.

If she dies, then you have a massive leak somewheres.
