removed cold start assist
I just removed my cold start assist tank.. (behind charcol canister) Is there anything else i need to do besides cap the line that runs to the engine?
I also removed my charcol canister, any thing else i need to do besides run the original lines under the car?
I will eventually get a catch can for the oil... but how long before it makes a complete mess of my car? lol

Yeah, i just drove the car after removing the cold start assist, runs fine.. i dont think it worked anyway, (tank was empty) I used a plug to cap off the old hole.. I will get around to making a block off plate. maybe next week.

that's pretty funny that yours is empty. When I removed mine it was still totally full. So lets see here...it used zero fluid in 43,000 miles and 15 years. Make sure to use a little RTV on that plate.

I removed the entire setup last summer too. Where the Valve mounts on the Intake, I removed the studs and sealed of the 2 little holes where the coolant would go Into. I used JB Weld to pack the holes In, and wiped flush with the Intake, prior to drying, for a neat appearance.

what exactly does the cold start assist do?
I mean, i'm in florida.. do i really need to worry about having that system hooked up or even in the car? I removed it and threw it away, i dont want to have to buy one again when winter comes

In fact, their was a recall Mazda Issued on eliminating that all together b'c, quite simply, It was/Is deemed useless.
If you do elect to keep It, the ratio, when filled, should be 90% coolant to 10% distilled water.
You live In Florida. Remove It and feel better you did. Even If It was relevant to begin with, the Subzero Start System Is useless to you.
