Has nothing to do with the cold start injector!

On any engine with CIS fuel system, cold running is all about fuel pressure.

For that car to perform correctly cold, the fuel pressure in the lower portion of the fuel distributor must get a signal to be much lower than the upper portion.


OF course if the secondary ignition system is weak, like bad distributor caps & rotors or wires then that needs to be fixed first.
