No start 1990 740 GL repeat. 700 1990

"Fuel injection: Signal missing from cold start valve- Idle valve closed- no signal from speedometer."

Suggest you give the actual code numbers.

I'm guessing you have Regina FI, and "Signal missing from cold start valve" is from a 3-2-1 code. If so, it's from a 1990 TSB for improving Cold Starts (Group 23, TSB# 135), which causes a permanent 3-2-1 code to be set and can be ignored.

The book lists two Idle Valve codes. Neither one is defined as "Idle valve closed", but one can cause a no-start (it says). Maybe your Idle Valve is not really "working OK" like you think?

Speedo code (3-1-1) may have been set (and retained) from a signal glitch when the car was running, and is probably not relevant to this problem.

OBD codes aside, I'd try OBD Mode 3 to see if the injectors, RS relay, and IAC valve can be "exercised".
