I assume that the ECU runs the motor rich until the temp sensor tells it to do other wise. Or am I wrong? I want to remove the air regulator and I assume that if this map exists, I can flash to get rid of it. Or am I barking up the wrong tree backwards?

my cold start sucks to i want to bypass the air regulator with a hose but that would cause all sorts of issues. does the KA have a regulator on it?
