Hey guys,

I have a 70mm omni power throttle body, and now that its winter I can't start the car unless floor the gas and turn it over for a really long time. I was told that it was because there is no idle tensioner on the throttle body? So I just wanted some advice.

By the way its a b18c with skunk 2 pro series intake manifold.

Thanks for the help as always.

When was your last tune up? Any CEL codes?

No check engine lights, and the last tune up was like 15k ago.

I have 68mm omni, no cold start and mine starts fine, has been -8 degrees here over past few wks... I thought ecu should kick more fuel in on start up, enough to cope...?

i know my tb doesn't stay running when its cold when i warm it up sum i can take my foot off the gas. it doesn't have a FITV. unless u had the old warm up valve they had set up on the old B18's. like this one im chipped on a p28 and my IACV can not open up far enough to keep it idling

Once I get it to start it stays running okay.
Its just getting it to start thats the problem.
I hold down the gas and have to turn it over for a couple of mins to get it to start.

well you should hook up whatever that top nipple is supposed to be hooked to? charcole canister i think?

and hook up the FITV on the bottom of it.
