RE: [DML] Cold Start Valve - how long does it go?

["John Hervey" <john@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

If your car doesn't start quickly and your cranking continues, then the cold
start will spray fuel for 7 to 8 seconds if you stay on the key. The TTS
switch will heat up and should shut it off in 7 to 8 seconds. That's what it
does if everything is good. If it's longer than that I would replaced the
TTS switch. If you keep cranking on the engine you will normally flood the
car.

How long is the Cold Start valve supposed to shoot fuel?  Is it a
second, or something more like 15 seconds?

My PO installed a momentary button to activate the Cold Start valve,
but I think they were doing so to compensate for another warm-up
problem... not because the activation based on the thermo-time switch
was deficient...  As it stands, in order to cold start, I have to
manually tap this button periodically during the first 10-20 seconds
after start-up, otherwise it dies.  If I attach the original
electrical connector to the cold start valve, the engine still starts,
but sputters out within a few seconds.  Is there a way to test if this
is the warm up regulator or something?

Thanks,
