Re: Starting in Cold Weather!
Does it spray if you direct wire to a power source? I'm thinking as you crank and no spray then it is not getting a signal/power. Crank with direct power and see what happens..
Perhaps the connection at the thermo time switch is a bit dodgy..

Re: Starting in Cold Weather!
Kinda vague on the symptoms here. What's happening? Won't start? Extended cranking?
Cold start components are the auxilliary air valve, the cold start injector and the thermo-time switch. The ECU also gets a temperature signal from the air flow meter.
Let us know what the symptoms are and maybe someone will know the solution.

Re: Starting in Cold Weather!
Thanks for the replies... tried everything you suggested. I think I have it narrowed down to a faulty wire. Now the long journey of that search begins.. ugh. ----UPDATE---- installed a different air-flow meter, the first one I put on must have been bad! Car is starting perfectly now. Thanks again!
