Re: [doc] reluctant starting



I read up about the cold start system and had a good prod about this morning
I started the car (first pull) then stalled it and it wouldn't start up
again. I pulled the wires off and checked things with a meter and they
appeared to give credible readings and the car started happily without the
cold start valve connected. I reconnected everything and it was then OK. 
Went for a run to Halfords to buy a celebratory new chamois, washed and
cleaned the car, let it get cold, started it up, stalled, stopped and
started several times and it all seems OK now. It is a bit unsettling as I
don't know quite what I've done but I dare not complain.

Generally it seems to be running all right, and making nice slurpy noises,
but is a bit flat at 2000 rpm. It doesn't pick up very easily when you
apply gas. When you get to 3000 you can feel the turbo wanting to kick in
but I am limited at 3k until the pistons are run in.

Looking forward to our Summer meets.
