Having cold start issues not that it's taking longer to start but it pops off to the normal  800 rpms but then a split second later it drops to 500 or so and sounds like it might die. Then come back up and never does it again just when it sits over night. if I plug it in it doesn't have this it starts just fine 

     When I get to 190 and shut the truck off and restart the truck it's fine. The only this different I have different if instead  of the puff of black Smoke it is more of a gray. The only code I have is po602 and the could be from the superchip I have.

   I haven't looked into it to much because I really have no idea where to start. Would like to figure it out before it starts getting below 0 right now it's around the teens at night and the around freezing during the day. Any help as always would be appreciated

Also I wasn't impressed with liquid tape in the pic so I peeled it off and used heat shrink.

If those lugs are soldered on the copper wire will be sealed as well from corrosion leaking into the strands. Kind of like soldering to copper pipe joints together. Crimping works but still soldering is the best method. Then the shrink tube over the top just makes it bulletproof.

klcammie would you be willing to make a write up of this? Be awesome to add to the article database.
