Re: hard starting
Well I would start at you Cold start valve. It is located on your intake
manifold. ON the left side when facing the car from the front. It should be
getting 12 V whilee you car is being turned over. The thermo time switch
controls it and it is located on the upper rad hose where it goes from rubber to
a metall tube into your head (confusing). Located on the top as their is a few
sensors on it. Using a ohmmeter measure the sensor it should read 0.5ohms or
less when the car is cold. Few, better yet check the BENTLY! Heh
