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)

re: the missing CHT sensor. i believe it is needed to basically run, not just run right. maybe you could fool the ECU by hooking up an external resistor to the CHT terminal and adjust as the engine warms up. sounds like the engine is in the car? major PIA to drop engine, change head (find head, rebuild head, install CHT, install head, bolt everything back together, put engine back in car). if i remember, CHT is in the 0-2000 ohm range. maybe that would at least get it running.
