"root cause" of problem found!

I wanted to give you the “final update and root cause resolution” for the cold start problems I was having. The warm up regulator (also known as WUR or pressure control regulator) was bad and had to be replaced ($329.00 for new Bosch part) and 3 hours of labor to troubleshoot fuel system, CIS, ignition, wiring, install WUR and readjust mixture, idle and pressure, for a grand total of $558 (including tax). The car was in the shop for 8 days and starts easily now. I still need to fix the hand throttle and the part I need is on order. All in all, I’m very satisfied with the quality of repairs and I believe the 3 hours labor charge to be very reasonable considering the fact that the wiring was in such bad shape. I could recommend the shop and I’m glad I’ve found a place where I can take the car when I’m in over my head and need a professional to take a look. Thanks for all of your help, I really appreciate it!
