Can't one just use startpilot? Startpilot is a spray which is useful
for carburator engines if they don't want to start. Spray it into the
air intake during turning of the engine. I suppose it's alcohol or
ethane.
Should provide the same result as it's made for that purpose, but it
could possibly be a bit safer than propane.
Don't know, however, what the english brandname is.

Wolfgang,
That sounds like the "Quickstart" that my dad used to use to get the old '68
Dodge Monaco going on cold mornings - it's ether. I've also heard of using
WD40. The propane method sounds good because you're not waiting for the
last spot you sprayed to dry up before you move on to check a different
hose.
Cheers!

Does my (5 cyl, 2.3 NF normally aspirated) engine have PCV (positive
crankshaft ventilation) valve? If it does, where is it? I'd like to
check it.

Yvan,
No, I don't believe that it has a valve, but it should have a vent hose that
collapses over time.
