Re: no cold starts

["Marc Peterson" <mpeters6@rochester.rr.com>]

Too rich to cold start...don't think that's right.  If anything, a mixture
that is really rich will help cold starts.  It might explain some of his
other issues, but its tough to make a CIS mixture too rich to start in the
cold.  Probably not impossible but hard.

Monster - I would seriously consider testing your fuel system pressure as
per the Bentley, especially your residual pressure, as well as pulling the
injectors and making sure that they don't pee or leak after the fuel pump
stops.  This sounds like a classic control pressure regulator/leaking
injectors issue.

Of course, I did just attempt to fix a leaking exhaust manifold gasket that
turned out to be a cracked downpipe, so my troubleshooting skills are a bit
suspect...
