Okay, starting my car the last two days has been a pain in the...

Today was even worse than yesterday!! Once I get it started, it has difficulty staying running. Pulling away from a busy intersection with stop signs, and dodging the myriad of first generation drivers who live in my neighborhood that don't understand the rules of who goes first at a four way stop, makes driving even more interesting...

Been looking on the Internet, and this boils down to either a "Cold Start Valve" or a "Fuel Pump Check Valve" issue... I hope!

From what I have read, the Cold Start Valve is only activated when the temperature is below 69 degrees F, which we have not seen in this part of Texas since March, or this issue is related to the heat, which I see Steve referenced in his posting.

Luckily, I have a back up fuel pump with the check valve still attached.

I'm going to install this valve tonight, and then see how she acts in the morning. If it is still a chore to get the car started and running, then I'm off to the junk yard to find a cold start valve, since that is a $235 part new...

Let me know if ya'll have any other ideas or suggestions.

If it needs to be maintained, repaired or replaced on a 1990 240, I've probably done it. '90 240DL, 291K looking forward to 300K badge (or sticker??). >>You haven't really worked on a car until you draw blood<< :-}
