Re: [DML] Cold Start plug electrical behavior?

["gzapf" <x86Daddy@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I haven't taken off the valve to check the spray, but the solenoid
does click whenever I hit the button, including when the car is off
and not cranking.  I have a new battery, but the wiring may have been
adulterated by the PO.

Is the 12v signal to the cold start valve supposed to last a while, or
just during cranking?

Thanks,
--Greg
