The thermo sender on the bottom of the top radiator hose flange tells
the computer next to the glovebox that the engine is cold (or warm, or
hot), and the computer responds by 1. ignoring the OXS signal until it
is warm and 2. increasing the current to the control pressure actuator
which is the little grey thing mounted on the front of the fuel
distributor.

Is it also time for the annual reminder to check those intake manifold
grounds?  The computer depends on them for proper function...
