run without it! (archive)

You can bypass the CSI with a new, short length of
fuel line and a hose clamp/big wood screw together
for the cold start feed, so at least your car's
back on the road. I've been driving this way for
months (yes, I often check for leaks). Takes
a little more cranking to get the engine running
but in cold climates, ymmv.

OK, here's the deal... I'm working on replacing the fuel injectors (man were they ugly) and decided that while I'm at it, I'll replace all of the fuel hoses. Now I'm working my ass off trying to get this one last hose loose that runs under the intake manifold and I here a snap and then the hose comes off. I look at the hose and it has a piece of the valve in the picture. What is this, I've heard of a cold start valve and a cold start injector but the Bentley doesn't do a good job with 535 pictures for this. What is it or are they the same thing. I've got to go to the stealer tomorrow and get a new whatever it is.
