Fwd: Re: 5kCSTQ very sluggish

[Chris Dyer]

Paging Dennis Unsworth...

My '87, same model, is having the same prob. But after 2 min. or so, car
runs like a champ, 1.4 bar, etc. Same checks done.

My next try is gonna be cold start valve, as per my wrench. However as I
understand it, if it cranks up and starts right away (as mine does)it's
prolly not the CSV. Hmmm...more reading on Mockry's site and more testing
due, including fuel pump. (Fuel pump & relay are about 2.5 yr./70k mi. old.)

thanks for listening...
