[DML] Re: cold starting

["David Teitelbaum" <jtrealty@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

You are "supposed" to hold the gas pedal down 1/4 while starting the
motor. Some cars are more sensitive than others and most don't require
this. You could also have a problem with the cold start valve system.
Check if the cold start valve is getting power the next time you try
to start cold while cranking, you should see 12 volts on the valve.
The cold start valve could also be plugged up or defective (not very
likely). It might also be that you need a tune-up. How long has it
been? If you don't know, than it has been too long. Worn spark plugs
and old, bad ignition wires can cause this symptom.
