Um, watercooled buses don't have a cold start injector. Are you sure
you aren't looking at the AIC (auxillary idle control) valve? It's
also called the idle stabilizer in vw parlance.

Besides, if you did have a cold start injector, and it was stuck
open, the van would run so rich it would foul the plugs out in a few
minutes.
