CIS-e problems

Taken pretty much out of context, I have to disagree with that one 
statement.  Cranking the engine over causes air to be pumped into the 
engine, which lifts the plate.  Not a lot, of course, but enough to get 
things running.

We also don't know *for sure* if the CISE3 CSV is getting the same, 
lower pressure as the other five injectors.

I will also take this opportunity to once again say that I think the CSV 
has *very little* to do with hard starting, especially if several tries 
don't start the car easily.

Residual pressure (check valve), vapor lock (perhaps due to leaky 
injectors), bad senders, vacuum leaks, static misadjustment, are more 
likely culprits.  And the ignition system, of course.  IMHO, for what 
it's worth.
