another cold start issue?
 
it is starting to get cool here in South Carolina... nights in the 50's.

The CE will start fine but the idle will only come up to about 450 or so... you can step on the gas and it is smooth as silk.

Takes about a minute of warm up to resolve the issue..

i saw the thread on the vaccuum lines and i will check those.

I was wondering if it is worth cleaning the idle air control valve....

the OVP was recently replaced.... like i said just a short warm up and the engine is fine...

i am not concerned now..but this could be a bigger issue when the temps drop into the 40's or gosh forbid the 30's

ECT, Engine Coolant Temp sensor, I'd check it to see how accurate it is, it's the one the engine uses to set the mixture when the engine is cold.
