RE: [DML] cold starting

["John Hervey" <john@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

If you have vacuum leak and/or the air flow plate doesn't deflect down far
enough to allow fuel to flow to the injectors with out depressing the
accelerator then I would address that first. Then if you have a bad running
situation you may want to suspect the warm up regulator. You could also have
a bad connection on the starter solenoid wire that goes to the ignition coil
resistor thru the relay. There needs to be about 9 to 10 volts to the coil
to get a good spark providing the ignition coil is good.

Thanks for the reply David T
My DMC vin 20020 Always started instantly and I mean so instantly
that I could'nt hear the starter cranking, without holding down the
acc pedal 1/4 and anyhow I tried it and it still did'nt start
I took off the cold start valve and held it while someone turned the
start key and it sprayed a nice wide pattern.
I had recently replaced the dist cap,rotor.spark plugs and ignition
wiring.and the engine runs beautifully but i still have to hit the
ign key two times to start.The second time it starts instantly like
it used to on the first try.
It seems the problem is elsewhere.
I suspect the CPR.

This is a great Newsgroup for DMC owners and Ive learned a lot here
Thank you all.
