new '86 4kq

[Brady Moffatt]

Bernard,

Re: no. 2. You have the exact symptons I had in my '86 4kq. It turned out to
be a wire in the starter that gives power in the "start" position. The
cold-start injector never runs because the thermo-time switch gets power
from that terminal on the starter. Hence the tough start cold and easy warm
starts. I didn't replace the starter, just had it repaired.

Cheers,

  1) the tachometer does not function.  Any hints on where to start?
  2) very difficult to start cold.  Crank and crank and crank.  Flooring the
throttle seems to help it catch.  Runs rough, then settles as it warms up.
Starts well hot.  Any hints?
  3) Driver's power window works well.  The other three do not work from
either the center console switches, nor from the door switches for the
rears.

  Thanks,
