Ya know, I met an owner who did this with their car and I wondered if it
really worked.  He did it a few times and it didn't start so, thanks to a
phone call to Rich, I switched the plugs on the idle speed motor (?) and got
it started.

I am still learning the K-jet and didn't know if this would really work.

Until you get that accumulator replaced, just click the key into the
"ON" position, and then wait until the RPM relay turns off and becomes
silent again. Repeat about 5-7 times, and you should build up enough
fuel pressure to get the car easily started.
