Hey All,
Took a  look at the number 2 temp sensor... it's within the bentley
spec. So anyone on the list have any other obvious things to check that
would cause a rich running condition during startup? To recap...the van
will start with the first crank... but want's to stall. If i let it
stall...it won't start for about 5 or 10 minutes. If i keep it
running... it smokes... the smoke is from it running rich....i smelled
it... and it smells like a rich running car. Once warm...no problems.
I did move the ground wire that someone mounted on the crankcase
breather tower to a better ground location. No help there....
so....any advice?
thanks everyone,
jesse

ps. anyone on the list on the east coast that has a good rebuild-able
auto trans for an 89? PM me if so...thanks
