remove cold start (search = ppthphphtp)

so i did some serious searching tonight for it, and everything i found was vague at best.

how do you properly and most importantly ENTIRELY remove the sub-zero start assist?

i've got a basic idea by looking at various threads, but its still not enough for me to be sure what im getting into..

anyone got input for me?

Pretty easy.

Yank off the bottle (literally) after unplugging the electrical connections and cutting the hose. Cut the bottom part off the bracket.

The cold start valve bolts to the intake with two 10MM bolts. Remove them, and then remove the studs. Use the base of the valve to trace out a blockoff plate onto a sheet of 3 or 4 MM steel. Cut out blockoff plate, drill holes. You will need two SHORT 10MM bolts to hold the plate back on. Use silicon gasket goo to seal.
