... I was able to fix the vexing problem with my 83 900T 4dr. I owe thanks to Micah in NC, John B, Todd 83-900T, MS, DonJ and the rest. I had a severely rich mixture and all signs pointed to the CIS since the car would run better after warm up. Through other users advice I checked several of the components, i.e. cold start valve, thermo sitch, thermo-time switch and the O2 sensor. The cold start valve, and the thermo-switches checked out OK, but after replacing the 02 sensor the car runs great, I believe that it was the original O2 sensor (145K). So to those of you out there who are running with old 02 sensors take heed to this warning. As it can cause problems with your emissions and fuel/air mixture.
Also, some of the best advice I got so far from this board was to buy the 8V bentley manual. I found one on ebay and swiped it up as they are hard to find. Nonetheless, I've been working/tinkering with C900's for 16 years and I never owned the Bentley manual. Now that I have one I can't believe I did what I did without it. I'm a firm believer that one is truly remiss if they own a C900 and not a Bentley manual to go with it.
Thanks to all again.
Happy driving.
