Cold start injector only affects combustion while cranking.
However, for anything that seems temperature-dependent, I would just clean all temp sensors AND THEIR MOUNTING THREADS to bare shiny metal... [at least once every 25 years or so ] I did this and it fixed my hard cold starts and rough idle until warmed up issue (thread here).

Thanks again for the heads up.

Most welcome! Always a pleasure help minimize our carbon footprint by keeping our classics out of the landfill and help eliminate the need to build one more Prius or Tesla
Yeah, cleaning CSI, CSI timer switch and its mounting threads would help that.

I put new silicone fluid in my fan, it was like $6 shipped on ebay for some slightly heavier fluid. I think I put 10k fluid in mine, factory is less, like 7k. I can't remember the specifics. I see Ray paid $40 for an Aisin fan clutch...that's a pretty good price, might not be worth messing with the fluid. I remember fighting with that rubber o-ring for a while to get the clutch halves back together.

I see my thread got popular
Thanks for the info on the iacv, i will definitely be doing that
I cleaned the csi timer and ecu temp sender awhile back, no change
Ray, did you use anything to clean the threads, like clr or anything?

My white 90 gt vert (my first car, now mostly restored)
wifes 78 mach 1 (im which the previous owner had a (almost running) sweet rebuilt 302 with a hot cam, high rise intake manifold, holley 4barrel. Just got that running well. It might beat mine at the drag strip. You can't tell from the pic, but it still needs a LOT of body work)
and my dads new to him 66 emberglo fastback (c code but the engine has been built into an a code +cam swap, which he just finished tuning up the night before that show)

Mustang interior is getting close. Recently the windows stopped working. It's always something, gotta love the car. Thing was a total rat when I got it.
The old man has also been at it for 40 years, he's got a 01 bullitt, 67 fastback project he's currently trying to sell (swapping for the complete 66), and an inherited 68 coupe that sat for 30 years and needs a full resto
Feel free to ask questions, I love chatting about the mustangs
Also, bummer about your header SJ, that sucks, I'd be furious. Hard to find a shop you can trust.

Always how it goes! I spend a lot of time thinking about some garage time and a lot of time browsing YT watching other people's garage time, but very little actually in my garage working on my truck. I have spurts though, so hopefully there will be a spurt here soon.

Haven't been on in awhile, been busy!
I'm moving, need to dump some spare parts, would love to see them go to good homes!
Brush guard
New chrome grille
Chrome / clear marker lights
Turn signals
Great condition gauge cluster bezel, the slightly newer style, grey
No reasonable offer refused, been meaning to ditch this stuff for a year, and I need to be out of this house in 2 weeks, and I refuse to stick parts I don't need in storage. I live in north eastern Indiana.

Anybody else have what feels like sticky axles after not driving for quite awhile?
Happened to me twice this winter, after sitting a couple months, it felt kinda like the brakes were locked but broke free with a touch of gas.

That is a cool RV. We need some backstory and more pics. Are you going to tow the 4runner with that thing?

I know blue ox makes tow bars for these, can you flat 4 tow an 86 manual 4runner? If yes, then yes, i would love to tow it out to Utah sometime!
More pics later, having trouble posting them from my phone
