Okay, so I had to pull off my fuel distributor in order to get to a well hidden idle air hose.

Since doing that, and replacing my EHA valve O-rings, my car has had nasty cold start issues. It will start right up and idle, but as soon as you give it any gas it dies. You have to sit there and pump the gas pedal and let it stutter and cough for a few minutes before it finally starts running correctly. After that, it runs great with plenty of power and will rev all the way up to redline.

It is acting VERY much a like a fuel delivery problem, and I assume that since I just had the thing open that I've gotten air in there. I am thinking that if it were pump or filter problems, it would not resolve so well once warmed up.

Two questions:

1) Is my assumption grounded in reality?
2) How do I bleed it out, or will it just go away eventually?
