1996 chevy p.u, rough idle at start and acts like a governor comes on in overdrive.

Most likely your getting poor fuel economy too. The temperature sending unit/sensor is malfunctioning and the computer doesn't know any better so it's keeping it in cold start mode. Like the choke is still on at all times.

I have subaru legacy model 2010 .i have frequent the engine stops when i am breaking to slow down in a trafic jam,the car vibrate showing engine stops if i press on the accelerator the motor will resu

Could be bad EGR valve or vacuum leak. Egr valve, depending on whether it is stuck open or closed can act like the old choke thermostats on the carburator system making the vehicle run and idle rough when it is cold OR hot but normally only one or the other. Will run fine cold but rough once it's hot or rough when cold and fine when hot. Check or have someone check for any trouble codes in the system. It can hold codes and not make the check engine light come on and may help diagnose the problem.

Hard starting, rough idle when cold, then smooth running when warm

Need year/make/model/mileage of vehicle to provide a more specific set of troubleshooting steps.

When was the last tune up? Hard starts when cold are usually caused by fouled spark plugs, worn plug wires, or weak ignition coils. Fuel systems are not as effected by temperature changes as the ignition components.

84 chevy running rough

Check the choke when cold. When its hot take notice that its opened. Upon starting next time when its cold look at the choke and see if its closed fully. It should be. If not push the throttle all the way open and let it retract closed. The choke should close when the engine is cold. If it does not the vacuum break is shot which should be the rear one that controls the choke. Yours may be on the front since some are but very few are made on the front

1995 ford f150 6cyl - runs rough when cold. Then

Check the coolant temp sensor (the one that speaks to the ECU) which acts like the choke on a old carb type engine. These can be tested with a multimeter by dunking them in different temp water.

93 chevy 350 throddle body problem

Hello;
The injector assembly also contains the pressure regulator. Since the truck has been sitting, you may have some corrosion in the regulator and the injectors. Try a fuel cleaner and the work on the regulator.
