Help. When the Cobra's engine is cold I don't have any problems with it firing up the first time, but after the car is driven and the engine is still warm after parking I have a hard time getting it fire up. When it does fire up after turning over and over the idle will sit at about 150 rpms until I give it some gas to bring the idle up to normal. Then everything is fine. I just changed the plugs a few months ago so I don't think this would cause the problem. Any ideas? Thanks.

mine will do sort of the same thing. i still have the original plugs in mine. it doesn't do it quit as bad as yours. it will do it every once in a while. it will allways start but it will lag and have a hard time getting to idle. i haven't found anything wrong yet. let me know if you figure it out and i will do the same. good luck.

I am on this boat too. Every once in a blue moon I will have that problem. I just tap that gas and everything is fine. Honestly never gave it much thought. Would like to know if there is a problem though.

Thanks,
