    Cold starting issues-ECU temp sensor?

    My most recent S15 is really struggling to start when cold, and when it does fire, it sounds like an Impreza until it is warm.

    Cold idle adjustment / removal. Is it ok to take this bit off.

    I'm looking for advice on the above. I'm sick of my cold idle being 2000rpm and would quite like it to be at normal idle from cold. In my eyes it would be better for the engine on start up, as less wear on the oil starved bearings straight from starting. So I've been looking today at the...
