Re: Cold start problem 200 83

It could be 1) the connector has fallen off the thermal time switch. It is common. The ts switch grounds the cold start injector allowing it to fire. The firing time is longer with colder temps. The ts could have failed but more commonly the wires fall off. The ts switch is under the third intake runner and is a PITA to change.

It could also be 2) a bad control pressure regulator. At least in a normally aspirated K-jet (and the turbo also is K-jet) this is another cold start problem part. Stumbles and dies until warmed up for a minute or two, then runs fine.
