Reading this thread prompted a question. If the anti-run on valve does not
reset after the car is turned off, will it also cause the car to not
restart? I was under the impression that it only prevented the fumes from
the canister from entering the carbs, now I hear that it also prevents the
carb fuel from entering the manifold. My car has had this restart problem ,
but I usually hear the valve close after the car shuts off.
