New starter behaving strangely

[Tony Hoffman]

Sounds to me like one of the wires is not making contact. I don't know how
the 100 turbo is wired as to the cold start valve (don't have bentley here),
but on the non-turbos the CSV gets power from the third wire to the starter.
If that wire does not get power during cranking, no cold start valve, VERY
hard starting. If you don't get power from that terminal on the starter
during cranking, hook the two wires together, and it will pull the needed
power through the ign switch. BTDT.
