try #3

Is there a sensor for the cold start injector? Could it be when my engine is 
really warm like from a road trip or an autoX runn the engine bay is to warm 
for the cold start to kick in?

Personally, now that I thought about it this may not be the case. It  didn't 
start hard in the morning or after the trip to the event site for the first 
run. But it was really hard to start after sitting for about an hour when I 
got back and needed to move it to get my cutlass out.



Peace Out,

finally I may get to makeing it look better!!)
