84 VW Rabbit GTI - Hard to start when hot
Regarding my recently aquired 84 VW Rabbit GTI - manual trans - 8
valve. I have read posts regarding topics relating to hard, hot starts but have some additional questions. The car starts fine when it's completely cold, but takes quite a lot of cranking in order to get it to start when the engine is hot. I checked the cold start injector and found that it is working as it should on a cold start (sprays for about 8 seconds, then stops). However, the cold start injector does not operate at all on a hot start. The car does a "hot start" when I manually put 12 volts to the cold start injector for a few seconds while a helper starts the car. The other posts suggest that the failure is in the "hot start relay". I can not find a hot start relay on the car, or referenced as a part for this car. The only thing close is the CIS/Lambda relay. Is that it? I am about ready to add 12 volts directly to the cold start injector via a switch or, timer relay. Any suggestions? Thank you in advance! Jeff |
