hi......
no worries dude.
somehow we got from Jim's  2.1 waterboxer that isn't running right .......
to this.
Was it you that suggested he disconnect the cold start injector ?
.......which a waterboxer doesn't have .
I think it was someone else.......and for some reason you mentioned that
TDI's  have a cold start injector.
It DOES call it that on the diagram and tech info, yes.
I think we all know it doesn't actually inject, however.
But if it makes you feel better........."TDI's  have a cold start injector."
smiles, Scott
