Change the thermo-time switch/sensor (which activates the cold-start
injector.  On most cars, at least when warm, disconnecting the electrical
feed from the cold-start injector will tell if either injector or sensor
is the cause of the problem.)

Curtis LeMay maintained his own Ferrari.  K-jetronic is understandable.
