Hey Guys,

I just got my budget build truck here, when I fire it up cold, it really lopes bad, once it warms up it's fine. What do you think I could look at? Power is good, but the lope is too bad to be normal.

I also think that he has the idle to high, it's about 900-950rpm. What you think?

When the engine is cold the oil is so much more viscous that it pulls down the engine acouple hundred RPM, mine does the same in the winter, need to bump up the idle some.

If it lopes at 900+ RPM then I would search for fuel/air leaks or gov. gov/spring issues.
