hey guys my ed falcon has been off the road for sometime now because i lost my licence, i get it back in 2 days now :) so have been making sure my cars all sweet have also done a few things to it over the last month or so, i charged the battery when i put my new exhaust on, 2.5 lukey exhaust, new belts, filters, also added a oil pressure sender and new water temp sender in when i put my s pack cluster in but now its idling a bit rough when i start it up cold, after 5 min or so it seemed ok, but before that it sounded like it was blocked or choking when i touched the accelerator??

ok so thinking it would be the battery as well seeings tho i had to charge it several times over the 6 month period to kick it over, and now i drive it everyday its been running better everyday, but still the rough idle in the mornings. and it does struggle to kick over as well like the battery about dead. wouldnt be fuel because when i change all the filters the tank was pretty much dead empty and i put fuel in from a jerry can. (20l and bought the fuel the same day from caltex) could it be the new intake? (boxed pod) gonna buy a new battery today for it. its well over due
