Ferrari Mailing List: K-jetronic FI on QV cars

[Rick Lindsay (rolindsay]

Hey Gang,

On your QV 3x8s and Mondials, does the idle speed run high at start-up?  I have 
heard stories of the US cars idling really high (>2000rpm) when first started 
cold.  Every book I have read on K-Jetronic discussed the cold start injector 
and the additional air valve to raise cold idle speed.  My Euro. QV has none of 
that behavior.  First start-up or after a long run, engine cold, hot or in 
between, it idles at 1000rpm.  Should it have a higher idle speed when cold?

What I'm asking is whether the cold start circuit in my car is working 
properly.  It starts flawlessly but has no increase in idle speed at all.

Thoughts?
