...a wealth of info from Paul Kujawa, Toyota and Nissan specialist with Autoline Telediagnosis. "One thing that comes up frequently is long crank time cold," he told us. "The problem is that the cold start switch isn't grounding the cold start injector. We see this on '83s all the way up to '89s. I suggest they go to the switch, which is usually next to the coolant temperature sensor -- the switch will generally have a brown two-wire connector, and the sensor a green two-wire connector. Unplug the brown connector from the switch and ground the wire from the switch itself, which is usually green or yellow, then see if it starts cold for you (if the engine's warm while you're working on it, you could take the injector out of the manifold and aim it into a jar to see if it's working, but accessibility is a problem on some models). Remember, the cold start injector is just for starting -- it only gets voltage with the key in the Start position -- so don't make the mistake of blaming it for cold running problems.
"Another situation with cold start time switches is that on some Camrys and Celicas there's a hard-start problem after the engine has been sitting for two to five hours," Kujawa said. "If it's still lukewarm it may need the cold start injector, but won't be getting it because the switch doesn't ground until it gets down to 95 deg. F. or below. An updated switch is available that grounds at 113 deg."
