Hot start - Bypass Switch

[Jeffrey Holliday]

Well I did the shorting out of the cold start injector...
The power starts when it is cranking come to find out.
I ran a temperary jumper from the Blue/Whitestripe wire and touched it to
ground when I was cranking.
It sputered a little but it did start after a couple of seconds.
So Do I do the switch or do I replace the injector.
The check valve might be bad too.
I checked the fuel pressure by cracking the fuel filter this morning cold
and there was no presure.
Of course it started right up.
I drove it 15 mins and shut it of for an hour for an apt
when I came out it cranked about 10 secs then protested..

I have some cash outlayed for this and was wondering what I should buy...

I read somewhere here that CS stands for CASH SUCKER
it might be true

Thanks to all for the Info

And is there going to be a posting service for pictures of eveyones car?
