re. 1982 Coupe:Hot Start Issues

[Ti Kan]

The official Bosch terminology for the "warm-up regulator" is actually
the Control Pressure Regulator, used on CIS and CIS-lambda cars
(circa 1975-83, and also on Audi CIS turbo models).  This is the device
that's mounted on the engine block with two fuel lines going to it from
the fuel distributor.  It is bi-metallic controlled and electrically
heated.  Sometimes it also has one or two vacuum ports.

The CIS-E (circa 1984-91 non-turbo) and device on the fuel distributor
is called Differential Pressure Regulator according to Bosch.  This has
been called "control pressure actuator" on this list in the past, causing
confusion.

The other device to increase idle for cold engine is called the Auxiliary
Air Regulator according to Bosch.  This is a also bi-metallic and
electrically heated device, but is used to bypass air around the throttle
body.

Hope this clears the terminology up.  I call for everyone to use the
Bosch way of calling these things to eliminate any future confusion.
