So, long time since last post...during all the tests I decided to do a compression test even though the motor had less than 1K miles. Two cylinders at 130...not good! Pulled the motor and sent it back to the shop that built it. He said it looked fuel washed and he re-honed the cylinders, replaced the rings and that’s all he found. Finally got it back and in the car. Car is still acting the same- have to push gas pedal to start it(in the morning, cold only) and it stumbles off idle then seems to run fine above say 2500 rpm, accelerating and cruising. I’ve got to figure this out before I ruin the motor again. Any help would be greatly appreciated. I’m ready to load it up and send it to anyone that can fix it! And in response to above...ECT is reading correct for cold and hot
