QUOTE(r_towle @ Nov 17 2009, 05:38 PM) I live in the Northeast. It was in the 30's this morning. I have NO AAR and NO cold start injection. Car starts fine. Idle the car for less than a minute...enough time to close the barn door. Drove to work...no stutter, no stumble. When it gets down to less than 20 degrees, I need to warm it up for a minute, maybe a bit more. I drive to the end of the road in third gear, about a mile. Heat is nice and hot, car runs great. I also tune my car up frequently and mess with the points and timing frequently...and adjust my valves frequently. Rich Rich, thanks...its maybe 44 here in Northern California, but you know our reputation for being squishy. I have upped the RPMs via the idle screw when the car was warm, and we'll see what effect that has when cold. That may take care of it. |

Take a look at Brad Anders' site. It will really help with understanding how this system works and what components can be interchanged. You can't just get any old AAR.

Variable voltage would only make it start to get hot, then as the voltage increased to the minimal coil voltage, it would just trigger. You can get a servo valve, but it would cost way to much. You possibly could hook up a small RC servo as a variable idle stop, using a pot or even a small servo driver board. Or use one to open a ball valve, as long as it wasn't a stiff one. Lots of ideas, not a lot of time. |

Its amazing how much energy is spent on a part that is still available...no need to reinvent anything.
Here is one source... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) http://bowlsby.net/914/PartsFS/ Just get the right part and do it right... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/drooley.gif) Attached image(s)
