The car did start decent this morning. No long cranking like before. So I guess the shut off valve is working properly. I wonder if the pump timing needs to be adjusted to make it start better when cold??

It does idle a bit low when cold and then picks up. I want it to start really crisp. Valves rechecked and are just right. New fuel filters.

Anything else to check but the pump timing? I will make sure the rack dampner is not too far in.
