Hi,
the truck acts like it's flooding when warmed up. have to use throttle just like old school. then it runs high idle a bit. Is there something that makes it think it needs cold start ?
Thought maybe Idle air controler, or is there choke in there? After I get going it's fine and cool starts are fine also.

Mine won't start when it's cold. What are you doing right? To start mine I use ethyr but after fire it's Okay. Your's may need a throttle position sensor but it's probably electrical. Check your fuel pump relay first, its cheapest.

Check your engine coolant temp. sensor, it can cause both hot and cold start problems. Its the one with 2 wires, the other one with one wire is for the temp gauge.
