Well, I dont see any postings since saterday.Did you get it fixed? The 1.9
needs cold starting enrichment, just like all cars. With the weather
getting colder, this is even more necessary.Why not trying starting fluid
in the intake manifold and see if it starts right up when cold.Just remove
one of the rubber hoses going to the rubber elbow between the afm and
throttle. give it a good shot and crank when cold, first thing in the
morning.Start right up, first crank?Like days of old

The auxillery air flow regulater could be a problem.Theer is a test for
this device. Got to pinch a hose. The air regulater changes positon when
warm. It moves, inside. Maybe the part that moves wont move when cold.Wont
change back to normal position , overnite.
