I am guessing a connector may be forgotten or not totally connected. Cold start is a preprogrammed formula, then once it is warm the computer takes over lots of things. If it is getting bad or no info, that may cause issues that are temp sensitive.

Just a guess, but double checking all vac lines and wires is a good place to start.

Check the two lines which are behind and go into the lower intake duct. The black plastic one below - Part no. 16.

One of those if for Manifold Air pressure.

Fixed ! ! !

Ok, after reciving obd Codes 1107 0107 etc .... all manafold pressure issue . I thought about what started this in the first place. I missed 3 bolts , But i only found them after the Car had been driven 10 miles or so ....

installed the 3 missing bolts and thought that i had fixed the problem. but Now the car would not idle. This car does not have a mech Idle Air control. So it must do it with the computer.

I removed the Battery last night and let it sit. This will clear the computer. today with out making any other changes, I hooked up the battery and now the Computer has re taught it self and the Car runs PERFECT. I am now very happy, and Superchagertech.com came threw with the supercharger

Thank you David ( Warwick Mini ) for getting all of the parts to make this happen !!

Rob

LOL yeah extra bolts laying around after that type of work would be a concern though .

Which ones were they ?

I will have to look up those codes.

There is a way to reset the DME using your key and odometer reset but battery works too. There should be a thead in the "stock problems and issues" section.
