Bought a 1995 Nissan 240Sx a few months ago with a blown head gasket. Tore it down to short block, replaced gasket, resurfaced head and put it all back together. The car runs and drives now! Here is the issue I am having:
- Takes 5-10 cranks for the car to actually start
- Will not idle when cold, have to hold revs up for a few minutes until warm and then idle settles at 1krpm roughly
- Idle surges from 1-1.2k once warmed up
Once the car is up to operating temperature it idles and drives fine. Test drove it around the block a few times and it runs great. Very nice to see the car running again after a few months. Right now I suspect maybe dirty MAF, CTS, or faulty FPR. Would like to get the car to the point where it starts up first try and holds a nice idle. Thanks in advance for help
