CO setting due to fouled injectors? Run a tank or 2 of Redline SI-1
(Fuel System Conditioner?) before you change anything. The tip off is
that this is new behavior. It might be a restrictive fuel filter, but I
don't think that is likely since it runs well otherwise. The final idea
is a sticky or failed idle speed stepper motor (IACV in cars). Does it
fast idle when cold? If it does that is probably O.K.
