Hmmm, no change in behavior with the CSV unplugged certainly points to the CSV as being out of the picture completely. There's a thermotime switch attached to the driver side chain cover in the CSV firing circuit which energizes the CSV on a cold start, basically a heat controlled switch. Check if it's in the right initial electrical state during a cold start (I can't remember offhand which is which whether open or closed fires or not, do a search) .
