Souk - funny you should bring this up, my newly rebuilt engine in my 79SC 3.0L never has a problem starting with just a bump of the starter when warm/hot outside , or when the engine itself is warm/hot regardless of temp.

But our temps have just started to drop they are in the 40's at night now here in South GA and sure enough I am having a real problem with cold starts,

The engine trys to start but dies right away, I go through this for no kidding about 20 tries before it catches and then stumbles until it warms up, my exhaust smells like it it plenty rich.

I am leaning toward a bad WUR, it is the factory original one and looks it from the outside, I belive the cold start valve is working.

I found a company that sells rebuilt ones for $235 an I am thinking about getting one put on.
