Just for kicks, I tried disconnecting the cold start valve. It does indeed work for hot starting! My car has NEVER started hot without using a spray of Ether. I ran the car up to temp, let it sit enough to loose pressure, and disconnected the csv, VOILA! It started no problems. So evidently, this procedure works. -Jay --- In dmcnews@xxxx, njp548@xxxx wrote: > In a message dated 7/10/01 9:38:41 AM Eastern Daylight Time, > iqintermedia@xxxx writes: > > << One thing I have done is disconnect the blue cold > start valve to prevent the hot start problem >> > Mike,
