Klaus,

Good news. This morning (30F a little warmer) I tried starting the car with my foot a little more depressed on the peddle. After a few cranks it fired right up. So I am now cleaning the throttle body checking hoses and adjustments etc.

Hopefully it will be a little colder tomorrow to test this but in any case the diagnosis is looking better!

When I disassembled the TB, however, a couple of questions came to mind. When the throttle body is closed it looks like no air is supplied to the combustion process through it. Therefore, I assume combustion air for a cold start must rely on what is in the intake manifold along with any provided through the "Idle Control Valve" ... yet the documentation for that ICV does not refer to start up as one of its functions. When I started the car with my food on the peddle this morning additional air was provided but where should this air come from on a cold start normally?


Thanks again for your help

David
