My car had a "choke" installed by the PO to get it to cold start by manually activating the cold start valve with a push button.... thankfully, their hack was easily reversable after figuring out the culprit: The Control Pressure / Warm Up Regulator. This tech article describes the diagnosis and fix: http://dmcnews.com/Techsection/controlpressreg.htm If you have difficult cold start, but once warm, it runs fine and restarts fine, this could be the culprit, and it's a quick, cheap fix. (you'll need to get replacement copper washers in advance though) --Greg #2894 On 5/18/05, stefandmc <stefandmc@xxxxxxxx> wrote: > HI everyone, im new here, my name is Stefan Diklich, im 16 and just > recently got a delroean, 1982 vin 10632 automatic.
