cold starting

[scotty_d]

I fired her up this morning for the first time in around 3 weeks, temperature out side was -3 she struggled to start, the norm is first push of the button not like her at all. Any one else find this when it is sub zero out side.

Only moving her to let the guys in to work on my garage door. I don't think it likes to be left, once it fired it sounded great, going to miss that sound over the next few months

Mine used to turn over very lazily when the temperature was cold outside, regardless of how long she'd been stood. Most of the time she did fire, there was the odd occasion she wouldn't but then she did live outside.

You'll be getting the long trousers out before long.

Mine's in the garage so probably never gets as low as -3 but certainly when colder takes a spin or two more but I always put that down to having to wake up a cold battery.

Mine was in the garage but it is not heated, I did have to connect up my spare battery to get her going. In fact it is over 4 weeks since it last ran.

It was cranking fine but it started to slow after a few try's so i put the heater on the garage for half and hour with the spare t burst in to life.

I do have a slow to switch lambda so this wont help i guess. Both lambda's will be replaced when i do my manifolds.
