Audi 100 Won't Start: Finally Starts !!!!!!!

[Doug Yoder]

As another note, the CIS-E3 fuel distributors do not "meter" fuel to the
cold start valve.  The CSV is a 6th injector, essentially, but it is
electronically controlled (so I *do* have EFI!), so the fuel distributor
doesn't need to control the pressure in that fuel line.  So Kurt is on the
right track with monitoring the injector spray while manually controlling
the fuel distributor.

Good luck,
-Doug
