Where's the cold start valve?
Man, I'm beyond frustrated with the Bentleys manual because they provide such small pictures. I can't figure out where the heck the cold start valve is and they don't tell you where it's located! Please advise. Thanks.

The cold start valve is located right behind the throttle body, facing the firewall.
The throttle body sits to the left of the airbox, where you see all the throttle linkage connected to. Feel around back there, you'll find it. You'll need an allen/hex to remove it if you are doing some trouble shooting.

Be careful when you remove it not to lose the small o-ring back behind the engine. I found the one for my car back there......PO's mechanic left it there. Ruined cold start and idle.

I used a flexible "mirror on a wand" and placed it behind the throttle body and shined my shop light in there so i could see what I was doing, not fun, but it worked!
