Why did you do this? Leaving the cold start valve plugged in 
normally will not cause a hot start problem, and will make cold 
starting very hard if not impossible. Just leave everything plugged 
in as normal, and if you encounter yourself unable to start it after 
driving it, THEN go back and swap plugs with the CPR just to get it 
started.

Probably condensation from your AC. My water drain somehow got 
clogged up a few days after finally getting my car back on the road, 
and I often find my foot getting soaked with water after a hard right 
turn. I'm still trying to figure out a better way then a vaccume 
cleaner to pull debris out of the drain tube (behind the right front 
tire).

I am also glad that you decided to keep your car and drive it more 
often. Your post the other day hit me hard, THATS AWSOME! 
Good luck with any/everything you do.
