Re: Thermo-time Switch Question

["John Hervey" <dherv10@xxxx>]

Stain, 
Try to start your car with out any modifications.It may start ok.If 
not, then your other options are: 
#1 ( In the book )Open the hood and remove the grey plug from the 
control pressure regulator and replace the blue plug on the cold 
start. Then unplug after cranking. 
#2.( In the book ) You can run a jumper from the blue/black wire 
in the thermo sensor connector to ground. This you can leave in place 
till you get the thermo sensor replaced. But i wouldn't.
Any thing you do is a simulation of a hot start since your 
by-passing the thermo sensor. 
I your car is prone to ( not )starting quickly due to some other 
problem , then the worst thing that could happen is flooding. If that 
happens, then un plug the jumper or any other thing and let the car 
sit for a while and re start w/o any mod's. 
If the definition of Fire Hazard is now Hot Start. Then wait on 
the part and don't drive the car. When you put the gray plug to the 
blue plug is the same thing as ( Hot Start ). If the cold start valve 
sticks open, that's ( hot start ), if the contacts on the thermo 
sensor stick shut, that's ( hot start ). You can add a relay from 
inside the car and do the same thing. Then un plug it. That's ( Hot 
Start ). Why some people want to put fear in someone about fire 
hazard doesn't make any sense. There are hundreds of things on the 
De Lorean that could cause a fire, the most common is ( wiring ) and 
under rated relays, circut breakers and so on.
