Re: New kid on block (#5939) Question #1

Yes, you probably have a bad accumulator. The quick hot start fix
is to unplug the blue connector from the cold start valve and the gray
connector from the control pressure regulator. Then plug the gray
plug into the cold start valve. The car should start. Once the car
is running, put the connectors back.

Yes, the Yahoo archive search engine is absolutely WORTHLESS
It only searches in about the last 2 weeks of posts and hardly ever
returns anything useful.
Go to http://www.dmcnews.com/search.html and use the Google
search engine. Works a 1,000 times better.
