Subject:TiiCo - poor performance on cold start up, any tips ?
From:James Adams
Date:Tue, 23 Jul 2002 15:16:17 -0700

I have recently had a TiiCo engine put into my 90
Vanagon GL.  It has quite a problem with hesitating
and stalling when the engine is cold.  I have to drive
10-15 minutes for this to really stop being a problem.
If it is performing so poorly now in the summer I
expect that I won't be able to drive it in the winter.

I was told by a mechanic that there is a place on the
engine for a "preheat intake" - something which would
help atomize the fuel when the engine is cold.  He
said that there was a place for something like this
but nothing was actually hooked up on my engine.  Does
anyone know anything about this ?  Or any other
suggestions which would help alleviate the
hesitation/choking at cold temps and low gears that
I'm experiencing ?

Thanks in advance for any information or feedback.

-James
