This site: http://www.cruzinperformance.com/ does cleaning if it is just dirty and not damaged.

I deleted the cold start system on mine.

I have already installed another used one and I am trying to find someone that knows how to rebuild the one I removed to keep it for a spare. I also don't know if they will interchange but Thanks!

I went through a lot of changes with mine. I remember it took longer cranking but I didn't leave it that way very long. I deleted the system and then used the PROM code from an '89 which fires all the injectors for start up. I could use that code as mine is an auto. I would think it would cost little in a tune to delete the cold start and add in the injector firing feature.

One thing I have learned, G.M. is the cheapest company on the planet, they work on fractions of a penny. My point is, if they put it there, it was necessary and not because they like to spend money, Mike

That was excellent thinking on your part. I checked with the guys over at Art's Corvette Parts in Fort Lauderdale about the e-prom and they agreed but unfortunately the e-prom has been discontinued, Mike
