Also your rack damper pin may be adjusted too tight. This will also result in poor cold idle. Also check you fuel filters.

Yeah, 400 rpm does seem awfully low. I can't really tell you how to adjust that, as I know my 603 is different in that regard (on mine there is a knob on the drivers side firewall).

Communicating on the computer is not quite the same thing as any of the other things you just mentioned. Signs are in all caps probably because otherwise they'd cost twice as much to make (two sets of stencil lettering instead of one). There's probably a reason for the pharmacy and architects using all CAPS, but that doesn't mean everybody should use all CAPS all the time. It's hard to read and in internet speak it means you're YELLING!

Yes, I did notice. I would have not read it if I was not bored at the time.

I do have a bad habit of using all caps. As I looked over what I wrote I see what you mean. I have a problem with with remembering to use a capital at the beginning of my sentences and I have to keep going back to correct that. Thus i thought to use all caps to make it easy for me. I truely appreciate the time you took to read it because you helped me out once again as you have many times in the past. I don't understand all the hoop-la about it that we drew from it but thanks for your suggestion. I do appreciate that also. From what I've seen your intentions are always good and concerning. Thanks ForcedInduction. RAY M

To my knowledge of Fi engines, it is not possible to flood it, unless you have a leaky injector, or very high fuel pressure in which case your engine might not start at all. When you engine is cranking, the ECU tells the injectors to shoot a predetermined amount of fuel into the cylinders, no matter what position your foot is in, unless it is in clear flood mode like another member said. The reason for this, is when you press the accelerator pedal in a FI car, you open the throttle body which provides more air, not fuel. All you are doing is leaning out the mixture, but it still will start. The computer doesnt read the mass air flow sensor, or even the map sensor during initial startup. Yes, sometimes pressing on the accelerator pedal during startup in a Fi car may make it more difficult to start, depending on the vehicle, and what program its computer has, but every car will have a set amount of fuel that it has the injectors squirt out during initial startup, no matter where your foot is.
not to be a dick, or anything. I just know this because at the Ford dealer I used to work at we had this customer who kept coming in saying that his car was flooding. (99 explorer) and we had to explain to him how it wasnt possible. turned out to be a bad crank position sensor.

I would think a FI gasser could flood, if the plugs were bad... fuel getting pumped in, but bad compression... of course, if the plugs were bad, the flooding would be the least of his problems.

Cold starting
I also noticed that my OM 617.912 engine starts a lot easier when I put the pedal half way down when turning the key.
If I don't touch the pedal at all it could take as much as 5 seconds for it to start with a cold engine (left overnight). When engine is warm the behaviour is pretty much the same - it starts easily but much easier with the pedal down (1 turn vs 2 or more turns to start). Notice the I had my injection pump and all injectors replaced 8000 miles ago. The engine has been rebuild back then with new parts and has no blowby or oil consumption so far. |

Just a flooded gasser comment. (I think I saw a wrong one)
Generally speaking.... on a Fuel injected gassers (63 vett's excluded) If you floor it, it turns off the fuel, allowing a flooded engine to start. Modery FI gassers start without touching the pedals. If it coughs or sputters, like its flooded. Just floor it as you crank. Don't forget to let go of the gas pedal after it starts |

From what I understand about the IP, the following scenario applies: When the engine not rotating, the IP will advance the rack to the full fuel position. This will be maintained during cranking. Somewhere between crank speed and idle speed, the flyweights within the governor will move outward and rapidly move the rack back toward the idle position. When the engine reaches "idle" speed, the rack is fully retracted to the idle position. The driver had no idea that the rack was ever in the maximum fuel position. But, some engines won't idle on the idle stop when dead cold. They need more fuel. This engine will light off and immediately stall because there is insufficient fuel on the idle stop with no pedal. I'd bet that most 617's will suffer this malady if the ambient temperature is 0F. or below. So, by pressing the pedal down 1/4, you don't allow the rack to return to the idle position when the engine "starts". Therefore, you notice that it "starts better" because it has sufficient fuel to remain running. Now, if I could just understand the owner's manual that recommends to press the pedal to the floor three times when the temperature is below 0F. If the rack is fully open.............what's that accomplishing? |

That's basically how it works.....
