Rough Idle on cold Start

Post by Krishnan » 03 Jun 2005 02:22 am

Hey guys,
When i start my 86 GLT in the morning it starts very rough and idles at about 300 rpm. After about 10 seconds everything is fine and its idling at 900 as usual. I heard it could be a problem with the Airflow meter and that this is a common problem on the early Jetronic cars. Any ideas?

I don't know exactly how to solve this problem but you can find out if the cold start injector works fine. I have the same thing, after a few secs its already gone and i runs nicely, so i just live with it.

I don't think it's just the airflow meter, i'd probably be a combination of thnigs.
