Should the cold start injector have voltage going to after the engine is warmed up? I thought that it was only supposed to fire when temps were below ~32 degrees. I haven't pulled the injector out to see if it's actually spraying fuel, but I'm pretty sure it is given the change in how the engine runs at idle when I unplug it, even after the engine is warm.

Crap. It's been a long day- I realize all this time I was talking about the Air Temp sensor that plugs into the top of the plenum. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/headbang.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/unsure.gif)

Of course doesn't change the fact that my cold start valve could be leaking and be the source of the intermittent issues. I will look into that.


So now that I've got my head on straight, can someone school me on how the air temp sensor (TS1) works? You may be impressed to learn that I've adjust my engine to both run with it and without it at various times. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/rolleyes.gif)

It's just a thermistor that inputs into the computer which does some non-solid-state analog magic calculation to change...something.

Anders says "Expected value...300 ohms @ 68 deg. F"

"Failure Modes
Open: Makes the mixture somewhat richer. Check with an ohmmeter.
Shorted: Makes the mixture somewhat leaner. Check with an ohmmeter. "

Ok, well that tracks. Wish I could start this thread over. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/rolleyes.gif)
That said, I at least have something else to test- the cold start valve for leaks.
