Hi Guys,
My first post....just picked up a dandy `82 Riv T-Type with a turbo 3.8...I`m having cold driveability problems with it. I am a mechanic and have covered all the obvious bases but have a question about the EFE system on the `82....according to the factory lit the heated grid in the carb base gasket did not start on the Riv Turbo until `83-Buick mentions it in the `83 dealer`s manual but not the `82 in the "mechanical features" section. My car does not appear to ever have been equipped with EFE as there are no unaccounted for wiring pigtails,etc...is the `82 Riv turbo supposed to have the heated grid? If so, anyone have a source for it? Anyone have a pic to post? Of the connector to the grid, the relay and switch which controls it? Thanks!
