Cold idle. Car is a 93' so it has no MAF.
More and more often recently, when the car is dead cold in the mornings - it has trouble keeping normal idle. it'll drop down to 500 or maybe less and bog a bit unless i manually keep the idle up. Any ideas? O2's are new (ish), however the car is running rich (I think i need a new tune for that problem, however its been running rich for a year and the idle problem is new.)
thanks gentlemen

I am having the same issue with my '93. After the car warms up for a while, it starts just fine. It almost seems like the IAC is sticky or slow when it's dead cold. Anyone else have this problem?

I have the same problem when my car is cold too I have to keep my foot on the gas for a little till it idles normal. I think its the tune that I have, It also is running rich. I bought the car like that. Once I'm done with some things that I'm fixing on the car I well be taking the car to slow hawk for a new tune. i hope that fixes the problem. will seee
