85 to 88 Suzuki LT230S Quadsport help.
Well I know the guy that had it before me and I have receipts for everything he did to it over the winter. New tires shocks and brakes all around, new coil packs plugs and wires, oil changes every 3000 miles...and it's barely broken in at 297000 miles lol. Seriously this thing runs drives and shifts beautifully. If I can get a year out of it great, if I get more even better!
I really want a 200x now...maybe a 350x!
Ok I cleaned the iac valve out...nothing. Unplugged the maf sensor while it was "chugging" and the idle smoothed right out. Off to the store to get a can cleaning fluid and we'll try that. I think it's been replaced or was a used one off another engine because it has "94 ranger 2.3" in yellow paint pen written on the bottom of it. If a good cleaning doesn't take care of it I'll let her chug away till she's warmed up...suzukis and 230's and stuff...lol

If it has an air leak, then it's leaner than what the computer thinks since air is getting around the maf. When it's cold, it needs more gas, not more air, so it runs rough when it's cold.

If you get a reading that bounces wildly, that means you have an air leak like I did.
