>>Question - for DaveH - you would seem to be a (perhaps lone) advocate of >>brass injectors. What is your history with this and why brass? >That is the "upgrade" from Bosch, I don't think they even make the steel >ones any longer... I had a hot start problem...it did not solve it (it was >related to a combination of several issues, but the new injectors made my >328 run Sooooo much better in the upper rpm range. Tks - Bosch CIS is a giant puzzle and all pieces are appreciated. *******Today so far...************ Pressure guage inline between distributor and (warmup) regulator Idles at 30 psi cold & hot Engine stopped pressure holds at 40 psi for hour tending to rule out a leaky accumulator or pump check valve. Now idles at 50 psi. cold & hot - why? donno - vacuum leak or electrical could have caused the previous 30 psi Removed electrical connetor to cold start injection - makes no difference to starting cold or hot (75ambient) Removed electrical connetor to warmup regulator - makes no difference to starting cold or hot (75ambient) Right now I'm thinking I better renew all my vacuum lines Also beginning to think the engine just wanted some 'quality' time with me! **********Questions************ 1) Maybe I was dreaming when I thought the car used to start just as easily warm as cold. Does everyone normally pump the accelerator for a hot start? 2) What type of tester is used to measure the air/fuel mixture? If it is running rich how can I find out? ( I live in a non-DEQ area)
