Something often overlooked is whether the cold start device is functioning properly; that is does it add air for fast idle when cold and does that air reduce as the engine warms up.
If it's stuck you can be chasing starting problems until the cows come home.

I did test the CSV back when I was having the problem. I removed it, turned it around , hooked up the fuel line, put it in a plastic bag and it sprayed fuel as it should. However it is moot at this point as I just sent the car to my nephew in California with a momentary switch hooked up to enable the CSV that apears to be only needed during cold starts.. Thank you for your input.
I'm looking for a reputable shop in the Malibu, Thousand Oaks, Agoura Hills, Calabasas area to service the car when needed.
Any recommendations will be greatly appreciated.

I'm talking about the cold start mechanism on the pump, not the cold start spray valve on the inlet manifold.

Thanks for clarifying that.
