Rough start then perfect.
« on: September 17, 2023, 20:16:54 »
When starting hot or cold it starts well then after about 20 secs starts to run rough.... like it's running on 4 or 5 clys. After another 20 secs or so runs perfectly.

New plugs. 123 ignition. 

Guess it's fuel either too much or not enough

Do a split linkage test when it is running rough. It should tell you something.

Time to test your injectors.
