Jc whinny sells a CIS injection system tester for about 60.00......  Bought
one, haven't used it (went to another on the net), but it can be used for
control pressure......  No the cold start is the one on the top and has a 15c
rating........  Can try replacing that I would guess.....  Control pressure
can be adjusted, but I sure would look everywhere else first.....  Gas in the
t-body hose is not a good thing (<major understatement).....  Never heard of
a cold start going bad, but there will always be the first.....  You may want
to ck the o-rings for the fuel injectors too,,,,,  Pull the dipstick out of
the engine, does the car stall?  If so, chances are you have a leak......
 (and I noticed that Ned's qcusa tech tip was this), guess I should have put
a TM on that tidbit.........
