John, In the reply to this post you said: "Are you giving the car gas when trying to start it, if so don't." What did you mean by that statement?

I hear people replaceing injectors all the time and most of the time they are not the problem. They can also be cleaned with Berrymans B12. The #1 culprit is the accumulator. If that has been replaced then the cold start valve sounds it's working when cold. Has it been wired direct. Is it working hot also. This could also cause flooding. Are you giving the car gas when trying to start it, if so don't. Even in Texas I sometimes run the Hot Start relay all the time, but that is because my car is kept in top tuned shape since I'm always working on it and it starts quick. We can go deeper into the fuel system with sensors, but most of all that is in the workshop books. You may hear me say this a lot. But run a can of Berrymans B12 thru the gas. If the control plunger is sticking, it will disolve the varnish. John Hervey www.specialTauto.com [Non-text portions of this message have been removed]
