Default Problems with hot engine

Hello all

Just want to ask a quick question, is possible to have cold start valve problem if engine wont start ( starter motor work well) when is hot?

Can I turn off cold start valve with unpluging "blue plastic thing" on valve? sorry bad english

You could try unpluging the cold start valve to see if it is easyer to start

The cold start valve serves no purpose when the engine is warm.

I know, but I think that maybe cold start valve work when engine is cold due to faulty sensor ? Just thinking loud

Do you mean you think the cold start injector isn't working when the engine is cold?
