Thermo Switch Location -- 88 5KSQ

 Fellow listers:

 Patient has been setting for several months with little or no use. Now that the weather is cold it is very hard to start. The cold start valve is not being energized., I'm uncertain of the location of the thermo-switch that controls operation of the cold start valve on the NF engine as the diagrams in Bentley don't match my vehicle. I have a small manifold on the side of the head with a two wire sensor coming out of the top and the multifunction temp sensor in the bottom. I'm sure that the cold start valve is controlled by one of these sensors but am not sure which one. Any clarification will be appreciated. Also if anyone has thoughts of other causes for this problem please let me know.
