Also noticed the car is mafless so just trying to figure out what sensors the ecu is reading for the cold start,
IAT?
Coolent temp?
I did notice when it fires from cold but struggles to run that it does smell rich from the exhaust so that got me thinking it is a ICV issue not raising the revs but as it seems that idle control is part of the TB it has me scratching my head.
Electronic TB won't as it can use it for air compensation instead. The engine has a "TMAP", it's inside the inlet manifold, so you can't see it, as a point of interest phase 1 engines had a MAF.
Check the mentioned breather pipe next.
