[urq] No hot start (fixed)

Grrrreeeaat !!! Bravo !

That's good news, a cheap, albeit not-so-easy-to-diagnose fix.

About the voltage, and knowing our early cars are not very well served in
that department (understatement...), you must have a good 12+... and good
ground !
I tell you that because no latter than last week, the blinkers were not
working correctly. After much dismounting and cleaning of the 12+
connectors, the solution was, tadam !, the grounding points under the dash
! You know, the metallic crowns that are bolted to the kick panels, near
the fusebox and ECU ? Well mine were kinda oxydized, maily because I sanded
the cool zinc-coating to improve the metal-to-metal contact. Silly me.  Now
a glob of dielectric grease prevent any further unwanted chemical reaction.
I suggest you go over these grounding points, and any other that might need
cleaning.

I will try to list the one I know, hoping the list will complete my
(limited) knowledge. Bentley list them all, but the exact location is
no-so-exact... Anybody knows where the ECU is grounded ?

1- (2x) Crown posts near the fuse box
2- Crown post near the ECU
3- Top of the intake manifold, at the back
4- Post on the coil bracket
5- Driver side engine mount to body under the coolant reservoir
6- Battery negative cable to body
7- Top of the trunk
8- ??????
9- ??????
10- ??????

Once this list will be completed, it would be a good addendum to the
knowledgebase, I guess.
