Warm weather no start..... 140-160

posted by  someone claiming to be 164 owner on  Fri May 14 00:15 CST 2004 [RELATED]

My wife has a 164 that had a no start problem when the car was shut down and then restarted during hot weather. Thru this board forum I found out that the cold start valve was injecting a shot of fuel for starting that wasnt necessary......so I rigged up a toggle switch so that the cold start could be manually operated only when recquired. Worked fine. But now this year as the weather becomes warm,the no start condition has returned! Wife took the car into the shop ($200) and they could find nothing wrong with it (igniton parts were still new from Fall tune up). Anyone have any ideas about this problem? Any help appreciated.
