Only 2 ways I know of get the cold start valve to fire manually. One would be to install a hot start realy, but I would NOT reccomend that you install one for a cold start problem. As DMC Joe advised me it can pose a SERIOUS FIRE HAZARD if the relay is installed and the engine is cranked for more then 18-20 seconds. If you did use it, more then likely what it would do to a cold engine would be this: You'd crank the engine, then after a couple of seconds it would start. As soon as you let go and the key sprung back into the "ON" position, the engine would rev up and then die in abour 4-5 seconds. The hot start relay is only active durring starting, and cannont supply the extra fuel the engine needs to warm up. A better soultion would be to swap the plugs between the control pressure regulator and the cold start valve. This can get you up and running alot quicker, and is a little safer. Instructions are located in the technical library section of the DMC News website. -Robert vin 6585 --- In dmcnews@xxxxxxxxxxx, "Stian Birkeland" <dmc_norway@xxxx> wrote: <SNIP> > While waiting, I would like to know if you have a quick, temporary fix that > will allow me to drive the car (read:start the car) while Im waiting for > that switch.
