follow up to my hard start rough idle problems

[kkoncelik@xxxx]

As some of you may recall I had problems with starting my car,
First I would turn the key it would not start immediately but would 
eventually start then die.
same on the second and third then run but rough and never really smooth out 
and if you came to a stop it would die or idle rough.

Well it was a combination of things.

1st my idle was a bit low. it was at 800 and while it was rough I couldn't 
figure it out because it would always die first.

OK 
First the cold start injector thermal switch on the water pump 
Replaced that and I could get it to fire up with the turn of the switch (Also 
had to clean the contacts in the injector and actually may not have needed 
the thermal switch to be changed but I did both. Contacts were real bad)

Now I start but it dies immediately and if I do get it to run its real rough.

So I replaced the wires, cap , rotor, plugs.

Big difference now it will start within three or four attempts, still rough 
at first but after about 1 minute it runs great but it is low on idle so I 
fix that and it is running great just hard to start.

So I finally replace the warm up regulator 

It purrs like it should and I just turn the key and it starts and stays 
running cold or hot.

Well Problems solved 

Thanks for all the input from you 16684 is Concours ready again.

All the parts are original OEM parts I might add.
