its not intermittant, it starts like this all the time when car sits for a 
period of over 5  hours or so..  basically it does this every morning weather 
its minus 10 out or 100 degrees out.    but it doesnt do it when the engine is 
warm.

what "bonnet yellow plugged nipples" are you talking about?   vacuum line 
plugs?
