I don't think the '82 242 turbo wants to be sold. I think it's mad at me, because ever since I taped the for sale sign on its window it's requested a tune-up, and now it's possible that it wants a new "warm up regulator." Of course, it is a snotty child and informed me about the warm-up regulator by not starting for a potential buyer. Such is the way...

Anyway, from what I understand this part maintains fuel pressure while the car is cold, and it may need to just be adjusted. How does one adjust a "warm-up regulator?" Any other detailed information about this part that anyone would like to contribute would be greatly appreciated.

(The hopefully, still, potential buyer was able to drive the car after my mechanic got the car running long enough for it to warm up. But, not heard from since. In order to avoid such problems in the future, should I have a little talk with the car, saying that it will be going to a much better home, where it will actually be driven and have a lot of fun?)

Thanks, as always for your input.
