I was just messin with you. 30 isn't bad at. Just as long as you feel young. I know how you feel I am real worried about turning 20 at the end of the month

p.s. congrats on your first post Tschultz123

Hi.

What would you rather have? That, or not being able to ever start your truck from cold, and having to walk, cycle or take public transit ?

Cold-start fuel enrichment and corresponding short-term high idle (by allowing extra air past the throttle plate) are a requirement of all gasoline engines to ensure a cold-start is gonna be successful.

There's always Google if you want to learn more ...

Be thankful it isn't a carb

Cheers
Bubba
