Had similar problem on my 78 Bus. Cold start valve was getting a bad
signal from heat sensor on #3 head. Replaced sensor . That fixed
problem.

Not nitpicking, but ColdStart has its own "thermostat"
and doesn't use the head sensor. Cold Start only functions
during cranking.

The head sensor controls mixture over a wide operating range.

I wondered about the head sensor causing his idle problem,
but it will usually affect more than idle when it goes bad.

Could it be a vacuum leak or a timing problem? Or the Aux Air
regulator?

There is a simplified diagram of the FI control on my web site:
