Mine fires up instantly also( with the CS valve disconnected) but, I think
it should idle a bit higher around 1.3k when cold. I have my idle set to
1k, so for it to start cold and run at 900, I think it to be a problem. No
exhaust leaks here either. Also, I ran a few tests this morning,(I couldn't
resist) and my electrical connector for the control press. reg. was at
11.5V and the aux air valve connector was 13.5V. This is within spec
according to "vagabond". Hmm, oh well, I hate this low idle crap, even
worse when I turn on the heater, then the idle stabilizer sometimes kicks
in and the whole car shakes. Damn.

Maybe we can get all go like a mass Scirocco exodus from the east coast,
and Shawn can put us all up in his house for the winter. Hope he has a
large driveway! ; )  Hate NJ in the winter.
