Re: Cold Start Problems

[Cmr446@cs.com]

  Compusuck deleted all your other messages for me related to what you did 
before to solve this, so I'll guess that you've checked the fuel system over 
and adjusted/replaced any components as needed, and made reasonably sure that 
there are no vacuum leaks. I'll also assume you have a battery in decent 
shape. 
  After all that, I would go after the electrical connections to the cold 
start valve, auxilliary air regulator, control pressure regulator, 
thermo-time switch and fuel pump. Then check the existing grounds from the 
engine and the battery cables. Make sure they're corrosion-free, cleaning 
with contact cleaner and then covered with dielectric grease to protect the 
connections. Check the battery cables with a multi-meter for excessive 
resistance (corrosion) and relpace with a larger gauge if needed, also take 
this chance to install an additional ground from the block as was previoulsy 
suggeted.   
  Now, if I haven't repeated anything you've done (I'll check the archive 
tonight), HTH.

 swapping for a new battery that i have in my other rocco but same problem.
