If this were the problem, wouldn't it run poorly until warmed up? Mine runs well for the first 45 seconds (or so) and then goes quickly downhill. >You need to get the warm up valve working also. I've had the elecrical portion of this disconnected for months and the car ran like a champ. I live in NM, USA, so winters are very mild. It doesn't make sense to me, but is there any way that removing its fuel line might have caused a problem? -- Christian
