Just thinking out loud but my questions are:
If you continue to drive, does the performance deterorate or is it an instant change after shutdown and restart?

It idles well in both "conditions" hot start and cold start. It is when I put a load on it that the problem presents itself. With the hot start it seems to be instant, as soon as I step on the pedal I know. It also seems to run the same, not get worse or improve. I have never driven it over three miles in this condition, it can't be good for it. No known injector work.
Something else I should point out; it seems that it will run in the "cold start" mode indefinetly, until shut off. I have driven it 40 mi. in the cold start condition, only to have it act up instantly after a stop at a fuel station.
