Re: Cold Start Systems



Text item: 

     As far as the cold start system is I don't have one so I can't say how 
     much it actually helps.  I do have to cycle my key every time it sits 
     more than a couple of hours.  If the car sits over night it seems to 
     lose all pressure.  I have to either crank for 30 seconds or cycle the 
     key twice and then vroom it starts right away.  I was assuming I was 
     losing pressure from leaking hoses.  I replaced all the hoses and 
     found a few small leaks.  I figured this would help but I still have 
     the same problem.  Does anyone think that the fuel pump could be 
     leaking back pressure when the vehicle is sitting?  Where would I get 
     a one way check valve to fit the fuel lines?

The cold start system is switched to come on only when the air is like 5F or 
lower.  Why would anyone disconnect it?  It WONT come on if its too warm. The 
cars may start well without it but it may help a bit too,  Ive never had or 
heard problems of it causing flooding ( at least on the later systems). 
Cycling the key to bring up FP when the car is sitting for a while is a good 
idea but the check valve should hold it for a few hours anyway but note that 
each cycle gives a shot of fuel from the CSI when its cold enough
     Disconnecting things haphazardly is something Homer simpson would
do (DOH)!
VW has a reason for everything.
