<x-charset iso-8859-1>That injector didnt flood it, if in fact it was flooded its more likely that the fuel pressure regulator was causing too high a pressure OR you have a wire in the wrong place. Its VERY easy to swap the CSI and temp sensor plugs... this will mock a hot condition though. You have your temp sensor readings backward. Car will start very well to quite cold temps without the CSI... but when its very frigid, and if your like me and want everything to work properly, Id keep it connected. keith ----- Original Message ----- From: Peter Legault <one-pioneer@home.com> To: Type3 <type3@vwtype3.org> Sent: Tuesday, December 18, 2001 10:59 PM Subject: [T3] Cold Start Question? > This early fall I tested and reconnected my cold start valve for the really > cold days here in Omaha .
