ive just done a tpi swap from carb from an 86 305 iroc. the engine will start while cold and run tilll i shut it down. after that it wont start till the next day. i replaced the ignition module. it will start with quick start but not on its own. should the cold start injector light up a noid light while crankng?

That depends on if it is cold enough. I think that the coolant temp has to be below 90 or 70 degrees in order for it to work. Are you getting fuel or spark when it does not start????
