Did you hear the relay click, the ~1 second pause, then the second click? There are 4 intake runners, one for each cylinder. The cold start valve is UNDER the inner end of the two on the right. The plug that is to the rear (rear is rear) of those pipes is the throttle valve switch. The Bentley manual has good pictures of all these parts, but it does take some getting used to. Jim on the passenger side of the intake runners there is a small piece that looks like it's about a quater inch in diameter and it has two wires that plug into it. This is what I thought was the cold start valve. I don't see it in the picture in the Bentley so I coulnd't be sure. When I look under the runners on that side I see a threaded piece of tin that looks as though something should be screwed into it but isn't. It looks like a washer that is attached to the car almost. Any ideas?
