I have also checked ground to both side of that connector and there is
continuity on both side.

Subject: No "Flicker", what to do?

Hi to all,

I am working on my old but nice ‘82 Camper.  My favorite.  The only trouble
is, it would not start in the morning as it should.  I would have to crank
it for two minutes and hope it will start before the battery gives up.
So, started to check in the book and now I am looking at the connector to
the Cold Start Valve, checking if it is delivering pulse to that injector,
often called the 5th injector.

It does not.  I tried it with and without the #1 wire off the coil.  No
flicker, no voltage.
I can’t see anything in the book that would help.

Would anyone know this?  Please.

Thanks to the Great List.

Zoltan
