Cold Start Injector -- Yes or No 1987

Dave,

1) Disconnect the coil wire from the distributor to prevent any more gas being sent into the cylinders.

2) Pull out the spark plugs

3) Either use a hair dryer or other source to heat and dry the plugs off. You can use a can of either to douche out the plugs before you dry out and blow off the plugs. If you can blow the plugs off using LP air after you douche them out, do it. Then use the hair dryer treament on the plugs to really dry them off, you don't have to roast the plugs, just blow on each one for about 1 minute or os, that's plenty to dry them off.

4) While the plugs are out of the car and the coil wire disonnected, crank the piss out of the engine on and off for about 5 minutes, don't hose your battery, just crank the heck out of it while the plugs are out. This rids the cylinders of any residual fuel, just MAKE sure you have the coil wire disonnected otherwise, you'll be defeating the whole purpose.

5) reinstall the plugs and fire it up, it might run and sputter if there is a shitload of fuel left in the cylinders, it may run fine. If it runs at all then dies, then you know you have a very badly flooded engine (like mine).

Try it, don't discount this suggestion, I wish someone gave me something like this a week ago, I'd be up and running by now.

Let me know how it goes.
