Battery Drainage

[amalventano1@comcast.net (Allyn)]

with the car off, i thought the cold start valve should in fact be shorted. its shorted until you
try cranking at which time it pulses its output (momentarily opens its short). If disconnecting the
cold start valve fixes your battery drain problem then the problem may be a short in wiring
somewhere or the jetronic ecu itself.
