So I have this 1.7 engine that I'm trying to start for the first time in 10+ years. I have spark and all four injectors work but the cold start valve isn't shootong fuel. The engine was converted to carbs in it's past lifetime and now is being converted back to fuel injection. The right side head is not tapped for a temp sensor. Will the cold start valve work if there is no temp sensor in the head to tell it that the engine is cold? Please Help me!! (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/smash.gif)

I was surprised at how cold the temp had to be to get the cold start valve activated...
I think its much closer to 30 degrees F, than 40. basically unless its freezing out the cold start will have no effect. And since its summer, I doubt this is your problem. brant |
