After the car sat for a few months (74 2.0 liter factory EFI) the fuel system builds pressure as it should when the key is turned to the on position, but once the system is up to pressure (about 40PSI on the gauge) the pump shuts off as it should but the pressure drops on the gauge. Car will start but barely. Used to build pressure then the pump would shut off but gauge would stay/hold pressure at right around 40PSI until car was started. Do I have a leak somewhere. there is no evidence or gas smell.
what could it be? Up until now the car always started and ran great. |

Quick question here, in the warm climates would it be ok to just compleatly disconnect the csv.
What would be the drawbacks on doing that. |

Yes, you do not need a cold start valve to start, but it does make starting easier. Without that large start pulse you'll likely be cranking a bit longer. |

My 74' has the cold start valve but it is not wired, or connected to the fuel supply. the car actually starts pretty good without it, but you have to treadle the throttle a little to keep it going . Question (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif) Besides helping start a cold engine does the Cold start valve also act like a idle enrichment circuit and help regulate fuel delivery to create a more stable idle. |
