Default think my cars stuck on cold start

seems to be idling high and drinking loads of petrol

how can i fix it?

i got a feeling that its thermostat related as it takes forever for the guage to read normal running temps unless your sitting in traffic????

surely engine temps effect the cold start??

i tried removing the plug from the cold start injector but still the same

anyone else had this problem????

got at 82 degree one now (as cossie and cvh are the same 86 degree lol)

but got a feeling this wont solve it tho, it never seems to drop below 1100 now even when hot

pissing me off idling so bloody high im sure it never used to

think it might have to be trip to grove garage
