My 1981 has had a issue for 3 yrs. It floods from cold start or hot if I give it to much gas. Last night it left me stranded so I must address the issue now. I have some ideas on how to track down the problem and want to bounce them off some folks.

My questions are:

Can I disconnect the electrical connections from the Aux Air Regulator and/or the cold start injector and will they remain in closed position (not function). Instinct tells me that they are not functioning right. Perhaps the Cold Start Injector is pumping gas all the time ?

The engine has 8k on a new rebuild and I replaced all the FI stuff that is on the engine with new. All of the FI stuff on the firewall is old and seems to be functioning fine. I am going to permanently close off the EGR valve due to its innards are toast and that was a rebuilt one from a company in California that specializes in them (the spring-tension arm on that fell apart so those items are NLA).

Any feedback welcome.
