I have a couple of CIS specific questions and was wondering if anyone on the list might be able to help?

But it will start (as long as it's not too cold). I'm trying to convince Doug that his no-start condition is NOT electrical, because I don't think it is. Having all of the warm-up stuff disconnected won't prevent it from starting and running, it just makes it harder to start when it's cold out. The basic CIS system itself doesn't require any power at all, and if it's 80dF out, you won't even notice the warm-up stuff doesn't work. The warm mixture will be set fine once the WUR is warmed up by the engine itself, it just takes longer. The AAR should also close once the engine bay gets hot enough, and will only cause a high warm idle if it doesn't. It won't affect mixture at all. The cold-start valve only works during cranking, and the extra fuel isn't required until it gets very chilly (below about 50dF, from my own experience). Basic diagnostics: ignore the ignorable when trying to track down a problem. Only pay attention to the ignorable when you exhaust all that's not ignorable. For a no-start, warm-up stuff is ignorable unless it's COLD out. Once Doug has the engine starting and running, THEN he needs to make sure the warm-up stuff is operational. Chasing warm-up system electrical problems when the engine won't even start, however, is only ignoring the real problem. |
