3-2-1 Code 700 1990

Has Service Bulletin #135 (Jan 1990) been applied?
It says it's for, "cold start difficulties...caused by a rich fuel mixture during engine crank and cold start warm-up functions."

Apparently the CS injector + side was originally wired from the radio Suppression Relay, and controlled on the ground side by a temp-sensitive ground in the ECU. So it must have squirted continuously until the temp sensor opened the ground side, which lead to an over-rich mixture right after starting.

The Service Bulletin brings the + voltage to the CS injector as in the older cars—from a starter terminal that provides voltage only when cranking.

Pull back the boot on the CS injector and check to see if the original Blue/Green + wire has been removed, folded back, and replaced by wire (unspecified color) leading to starter solenoid terminal 15a or 16.

A side-effect of this change is that OBD code 3-2-1 is permanently stored in the self-diagnostic memory (but will no longer set the Check Engine Light). That would also be a quick way to see if the SB #135 change has been applied.
