Ruben,
	Don't worry about the cold start valve... sounds like you have the same
problem I did... cranking and cranking and cranking every time the car's
cold... and then starts up just like nothing was wrong, and runs perfectly?
If so, just run a thick ground strap from the battery to the mounting plate of
the ignition coil... attach it to the bolt that holds the mounting plate to
the firewall.  I used a thick, red starter cable from Pep Boys.  It completely
cured all of my cold starting problems- and I am sure it will do same for you!
	Good luck and tell me what happens!

I want to add that it's prob. not the specific attachment to the coil's bolt
that is the key  (although it is a good place ) but the additional grounding
that is the major benefit.

(Jas- Red for ground? Havent seen that since I spun my old Audi 100 backwards
trying to jumpstart it. :)
