Stalling issue, and fuel plate question.
Hey guys, I bought a 1997 2wd dodge cummins for 5k from a buddy, 125k miles. when i go to start it (any temp outside) it idles rough and i need to give it just a little bit of fuel to keep it going for about 3 mins then it will run fine. The guy i got it from showed me a little like relay or solenoid and told me that was the problem. sorry i dont know what it was called. But i was woundering if any of you knew, it never stalls after i give it 3 mins but if i let off the pedal in the 3 mins it will die.
2nd question, i was reading the thread about opening the fuel plate with the star-screw and they said it give about 50hp, i was just woundering how much of a good idea it would be with the stock tranny i would like the extra power but i dont wanna hurt the tranny , i plan on rebuilding the tranny someday.
thanks for any help sorry for spelling/grammer.

after i give it just a little bit of gas (i know its diesel) for a cupple mins on start up the idle is perfect and runs fine, its just on start up it idles funky. its at like 700-800rpm's after i help it run, its at about 400-500 when i first start it and it wants to die

with stock auto you want to leave the idle low, you can turn up idle to cure the cold idle prob but then it will want to move with out your foot on gas. it it bothers you try turning up idle just a tad. If your cylinoid is hanging up you will have low hp. to check just start truck and reach down and pull fuel lever it should be all the way opean.
