While talking to my mechanic about some fouled plugs, he suggested that I unplug the cold start valve. He said that in most cases it's really not necessary. He said that it can put too much fuel in the engine at start up, creating a rich running condition.

In our area of Virginia, it rarely get's below 0°F.

Sometimes I think this mechanic is smoking too much carbon monoxide.

Anyone got any input to this idea?
