rough running when cold

Hi all,
First post!
I just bought an 85 150 w/ fi 302. PO installed two new tanks & pumps, I installed a new ign module (when it died in road) new plug wires.
When cold it runs rough and misses won't hardly pull itself, once it warms up it runs ok. Does this sound like a fuel issue? new filters maybe? truck also has headers.
Thanks
Alan

Welcome to FTE. You were up late worrying about this, eh?

If it wasn't fuel injected I'd say your choke was to blame. Yes, you could change the fuel and air filters and install new spark plugs, but I'm just guessin' here. Start with the cheap stuff. Someone will be along shortly that might know more about FI.

I don't know if it is, where would it be? it looks like a bunch of connections have been bypassed.
Thanks
