Just check that the frequency valve buzzes when the engine is running when from cold and it continues to do so when the Engine is at operating temp

That's the black round one next to the cold start valve?

No, that's the idle control valve.

Look for a white electrical connector with 2 fuel lines on it, usually bolted to the top of the cylinder head nearest to the coil cover
