Should the cold start injector timer be activated immediately after the engine starts
Here's another area that I'm looking at to eliminate the rough idling issue. I'm not sure if it's directly related to my problem, however, it's just something that I've noticed since the problems began.
I've noticed that my engine used to rev up immediately after starting, without giving it more gas. Now, it only does so after depressing the accelerator, which usually happens when I start to move, or unless I'm under the hood and giving it gas by moving the throttle linkage.
Is it possible that the start injector time switch is faulty, or perhaps the water temperature sensor is faulty? My understanding is that the start injector time switch is not controlled/monitored by the ECU and is dependent upon the water temperature sensor.
Any suggestions?

NO.
Having just done a ton of research to fix My cold start injector I know a thing or two about this
First off the Cold Start Injector is GROUND -Switched from the Cold start injector time switch. the Positive end of the CSI Is attached to the starter.
When the Time switch senses its "COLD" it closes and completes the ground loop.
But being the fact that the CSI is drawing power from the starter the CSI ONLY Fires when the engine is being turned over.
Hope that helps.
Sounds like the Idle up screw adjustment or the coolent sensor beside the Cold Start Injector Sensor (if its a 22RE)

Thanks for the reply.

Thanks for the reply.

Thanks for the reply.

That is correct. and it only fires while the engine is being turned over (Or the starter in engaged)

Thanks Michael. I just checked the resistance specs for both the CSI time switch and the coolant temperature sensor. Both are within spec.
