Re: broke down help please

Sounds like the cold start injector is not working. It is powered by the 3 amp CRANK fuse, so check that first. The switch for it is mounted at the front of the engine, up top.

The switch is thermally activated, on a cold engine it is closed and the cold start injector sprays fuel. When the engine reaches a certain temperature the switch opens and the injector turns off.
