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

["David Teitelbaum" <jtrealty@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

The cold start valve is activated only during cranking if the motor is
cold enough. It is not uncommon for a P.O. to add a switch to activate
it to overcome a bad fuel accumulater (hard hot start). Without
knowing just how it was wired I can't tell you why you need to hit it
when the motor is cold.
