Diagnosis of a Non-Starting Condition

- continued from Page 1 -

If both terminals have voltage, check the wiring between the cold-start injector and the thermo-time switch. If the wiring is OK, replace the switch. If neither terminal has voltage, repair the wiring harness between the starter solenoid and the cold-start injector.

Temperature Sensor. While not a cause for a no-start condition, the temp sensor is the most common cause of poor driveability and improper mixture. With an ohmmeter, check the resistance across the two terminals of the temperature sensor. You should realize the following resistance values at the temperatures given:

Temperature (def F) Resistance (ohms)
15

7,000-12,000

68 2,000-3,000
123 700-1,000
176 200-400
185+ Less than 200
