Hi

I own a 88 fox. When I start it when its cold, the engine runs really rough til its warmed up. Pretty close to stalling out if I dont give it some gas while idling. Once it's warm it runs great. Any idea of what this could be caused from? Thanks.

u might have a bad cold start injecter. so u don't have the fuel u need when u start. change it i have no clue what that might cost.

ive had the same problem ever since i had my vacuum hosing reworked. i always thought it was just a minor leak in the system. you might check along the length of the hose from the distributor to the fuel distributor.
