1989 sidekick misfire when cold or when under electrical load
#6
the dashpot is active even key off, see it hold open throttle, key off
going to hard vacuum makes it dead. (just after started, and vacuum hits)
and with dead, DAsh pot the ECU goes nuts.
after all it (ECU) knows it must work and adds fuel based on DP working you killing the DP dead, is why the car runs rich cold. You fooled that poor ECU little brain.

so forget all my first posts.
DP dead.
it stays open for 3 to 30 seconds, 3 in Florida keys, 30 in Alaska. SECOND not minutes.
the ECU controls that DP 100% and used the VSV to do that. never seen one that did not work right, unless ,
1: vsv bad.
2: wrong vsv
3: vsv connect up wrong.
4: wire to vsv shorted.

hopeful not ECU transistor shorted,.to VSV DP.
