Car is nearly impossible to start on damp/humid days with a cold engine. Once started (if lucky) car runs very rough - must keep idle up with accelerator til warm. Engine runs fine then and will crank fine rest of day. Cold, dry days are no problem - car starts up immediately. Have replaced temp/time switch with upgrade to run cold start no matter what. Have bypassed the compensator solenoid. Not looking forward to spring. Any ideas?
