Is the cold start valve for an l-jet the same as a cold start valve for d-jet.

I just broke mine pulling the distributer out.
The last jerk who worked on the distributer torqued the stupid thing to like a thousand.. Bad mojo.

But hey- I fixed that stutter....


Is it a terrorist?!?
Because ninjas are kinda cool....

They are not the same. Sorry... I bypassed mine, not too cold here in the sowthwest.

A big picture of my Cold Start Valve

DAMN IT!!!!. How different are they.

I live in flippin' colorado!!!!


I'm doomed! DOOMED!

How different are they? I'm a fairlly talented machinist...

The LJET is a PASS Through where the fule line goes in one side and out the other. The DJET is one fule hose that ends at it.

They are also in different locations and I think have different attachemets to the Plemum, but I am not exactly sure on that.

Drill extra hole?

I am not sure if the electrics are the same either. I guess someone will chime in on that. I have found them before for around $80...

I have at least one D-Jet cold start valve (don't know if it works!) I'd send you for shipping...

bump...


so Chris can by pass his but the problem is that it broke the actuall valve and is now a vacuum leak into the manifold and affected the idle (what idle)
The easiest thing for him to do would get a used L-jet valve to replace his broken one.

but Chris, a 2nd alternative is:

Chris, on D-jet the cold start valve doesn't inject fuel until something crazy like -26degrees
so bypassing it isn't really going to hurt anything
You could just plug the vacuum link... make a plug,weld it shut, what ever plugs it... Then just not have a cold start valve.

plan 1 is probably easier.

I may be wrong with my inital thoughts. I found a 1.7 D-Jet Cold Start Valve and it looks just like the 1.8? The 2.0 D-Jet is the single...

1.7 D-Jet Valve $15 bucks on ebay item# 8005337613


2.0 D-jet valve


It might work... And since the thermo-switch remain the 1.8 it would come on like it should and not the colder range.

Hmmm...

it has the intake side and the exhaust for fuel out?

This is really important...

And is the mount portion the same?

I could always make a different mount...

the injector is longer. and no fuel out port

The 1.7 one does... I t looks just the same mont and all...

The 2.0 one does not look right at all.

I honestly would buy a new one and just put it in.
