Alright, my Haynes manual was published in 1982. I'm looking for the cold start valve on my '83 turbo. Where is the bloomin' thing? I thought I had it but it wasn't it. Somebody show me a picture or something before I pull my freakin' hair out I know what it is suppose to look like, I just can't find it. I feel like such an idiot

Hey Bud dont feel bad I seen your post and I tried to find mine as well. I too have a 83 turbo, book says its located on intake and has 2 screws holding it down. It also says its connected to to fuel system via a fuel hose. If it is I cant find it, I also have a factory manual on CD and all i can find in it is how to test it after you find and remove it. Maybe ours has some other type of cold start system on it. I will dig a little further and let you know if I come up with anything and would appreciate you letting me know if you find any info on it just so I will know for future reference...........

Maybe a factory service manual would help. I'll see if I can find one.
I don't feel so stupid now. There's no fuel lines on that side of the manifold. It wasn't covered in the updated section either. Thanks for the reply.

I have a factory manual on CD and it was no help either, I also have an account at ALLDATADIY.com, which is online service manuals for what ever you subscribe to and it was listing same as Haynes and my factory manual were..........I am clueless on this one

I don't think our turbos came with a coldstart valve. I'm pretty sure of it. I'll double check, but I think our coldstart is just controlled by the ecu.
