I have been trying to find a way to make the ALDA user adjustable from inside the car, so your post has given me a few ideas. That way, I could keep the ALDA adjusted for less fuel when I first start the car in the morning (to keep from polluting around my family too much), and then once warm, I could adjust the ALDA to provide a bit more acceleration.

Has anyone done this?
This might be a bit too complicated for a simple cold start issue but gives you an idea of whats involved.

An easier solution might be setting up your glow plug system for afterglow.
