Bob I'd take a good look at the temp sensor and connnections. The connections corrode and get resistive. The ECM sees the higher resistance as the engine being colder than it is and richens the mixture. If your not concerned about originality you can replace the connector to it with early 90's taurus 3 liter v6 injector connectors. They have a seal that helps keep the moisture out. The coolant temp sensor is about $33 from Courtesy parts. Don't mistake it for the temp sending unit which has a single wire. It could also be that the sensor is changing value intermittently so ohming it out may not show it to be bad. It could be other things like the fuel pressure reg. or sticky airflow meter. If you think it's the cold start valve, you can pinch off the fuel hose to it to see if it stops. Car fiche.com has a fact. manual you can down load. there's also 280z electronic fuel injection book that explains it in plain english. I can direct you off line on that book e-mail me. 240 Al

Bruce, I was having a hard time with $30 dollar entry fee. I could see $150 if you had people on a waiting list for years and limited the entries to only 5000 (Hot August Nights), it'll never be that big. I came in late sunday as a vender last year, and was desended upon by fulchures be for I could get unloaded. I didn't get my act together this year because I couldn't deside what to bring. I have losts of motors and trans and heads L-6 and L-4's, but I didn't know if they would bring a decent price. I would like some suggestions on what to bring. so I can plan early. I printed off a copy of the entree sheet but gave it to someone thinking I could print off another one. I was too late. I had 57 anglia in high school I hated that car I've been scared for life
