But, like you say, there is most likely another issue. I have to give some throttle to keep it running for the first minute or so after starting. With the throttle I can keep it steady at 1000 rpmīs. After about a minute, while keeping the throttle in the same position, it revs up to about 2000 rpmīs. I can then let go of the throttle and it idles fine. Runs a little jerky on low rpmīs until fully warm.

I will be getting fuel pressure gauges, but if there is anything I can try until then, (without changing expensive parts at random) advise would be appreciated
Thanks, this helps.

While you're awaiting the gauge set, you might try to see if you are getting voltage to the CSV--don't know if you've checked for that. Remember, you will get voltage only if the key is in the START position. If you get voltage to the CSV connector, next check that you are getting a ground connection from the thermo-time switch when engine is cold. You need both readings at the CSV for it to work.
