RE: [doc] Cold Start Switch?

[John Tien <johntien99@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Rich,

Thanks for your reply! I haven't really measured the
time it takes the engine to run smoothly, but from
memories, it becomes stabilise once I have driven the
D for about 5-8 minutes with 30mph... The temp needle
reachese the first 1/4 line.

I will give the vacumm hoses a good check... I will
let you know how it gets on!

Cheers!
John
