Subject:2.1 WBX Warm Start Troubles
From:Michael Magnani

My van has trouble starting when warm.The fuel mixture is too rich.I have to depress the gas pedal to open the throttle plate to get enough air so it will start.After it starts it stumbles for a few seconds until it clears the over-rich condition and then it runs perfectly.

I'm looking for guidance.Thanks Mike Magnani
