Default hard starting after plate install

i just installed a #10 plate in stock position.now when it sits overnight she wont start without me giving it some throttle as if there is a fuel leak that drains down overnight.i checked the banjo bolt that i removed for access to afc but it is tight and dry.any ideas?

How much cranking does it take to start? For a lot of 2nd Gen 12V's, they seem to need a little pedal to start but still no extended cranking time.

What is your idle at?

Should be close to 800 rpm in gear with the AC on.

I bet you need to bump it a bit.

actually it will fire right away as usual but will stumble and miss then die.then i will give it a bit of thtottle then hit the key and it will start right up as before and idle just fine.my idle speed is good at app. 850-900 rpm.it only does this when its cold now.throughtout the day its is fine like before i installed the #10 plate.thanks for the ideas

Could be something unrelated to the plate - like air getting in from a dry rotted fuel line. Have you ever changed your supply and return fuel lines?

A lot of people with 12Vs have to give it just a little pedal to get it going.
