[Shotimes] Still having problems, PLEASE Help!

[SHO GOS]

I have a winter time problem. When going Christmas shopping from store to
store at times I find that when I start my SHO it acts like it's running on
3 cyl. and stalls out. You have to give it gas, pump it a bit as it is
stumbling and bring it up to 2000 rpm for a little bit then it straightens
out and runs right. There's a computer under the plastic info board that is
over the radiator. I put a small piece of wood on top of that computer to
hold that plastic piece up and allow more air to that computer. That seems
to help out. I think that computer gets hot and doing a lot of stop and go
and short runs where the engine doesn't really cool down even though the
idiot gauge says it's normal produces a lot of heat when I shut the engine
down.

I'm not sure if this is the same problem that your having or not. The wood
doesn't solve the problem but it does help. I'm going to put a heat sink and
muffin fan on that computer to see if that solves the problem.
