Sounds like the cold start valve is on all the time.
Start by simply unplugging the 2 pin plug that plugs into the CSV
itself.
I've seen cases where the wire from the CSV to the temp switch had
come undone and gotten grounded, causing full time running of the
CSV.
Also, ask if he gets 2 relay clicks when he turns the key ON. If not,
someone has worked on the starter and gotten 2 wire switched. That
will also run the CSV full time, and also add extra richness for
starting.
The symptoms are pretty telling. Somethings not hooked up right.
Could also be the hose from the IAD to the pressure sensor has come
loose at one end or the other. If it's come loose from under the IAD,
you'd never notice, and it can be hard to find where it goes if
you're not already familiar with the underside of the IAD.
Cold start system is completely disabled (no fuel hose to it, or no temp
sensor installed).
Both relays are clicking when you try to start it (first 1 then the other
like normal).
Hose to the MPS is hose clamped at both ends to help keep it in place. That
hose is also about 2 years old.
