A shorted harness may be keeping the injectors open. The black smoke
indicates a temp 2 problem. Could be missing a ground somewhere.

Subject: COLD START PROBLEM!!!!!!!!! anyone!!!!!

Grrrrrrrrrrrrr...... me again...good, am gonna burn that 84... he he he...

Recapitulation:
84, rebuilt head job...

Problem: no start when cold, and now, no start when hot!!!!
Black smoke with heavy hesitation, kind a feel a it's flooded!

injecting brake cleaner in intake to start the van as a boost is the only
way to start that van... when hot, everything is ok except for a lack of
power after d�celeration... and hitting back the gas pedal...

Fuel pressure as a slow leak, but a very slow one... every vaccum is
plugued, ECU as been replace, as for temp 2 and other stuff... i don't have
a spare 1.9 dijiget AFM, so i cannot do that test, but, by bentley, that AFM
looks ok..

Everything as been replace... injectors tested, fuel reg as been replace
with no change... am replacing the fuel pump tomorrow.... and the filter...
but still... the aux. air reg. valve is open so i should have a "cold
start"...

I feel that i have a fuel pressure ploblem... but am not sure... fuel
pressure is ok....

Compression: ok
