Default Think tuning EFI is not a cold job

Check this out. Can you say zero outside. Takes 15 seconds of cranking then holds idle. How can I ensure they start when it is this cold...I have to sit in this cold crap!!!

Just because I am not from the big foot family and use to living in the forest with the other hairy creatures DOESN’T mean that the rest of us DON’T GET COLD. Damn wookie.

That's why I like living in So. Texas...short mild winters and long warm summers. Other than that...well, the fishing is good.

You know Porsche was way ahead of other manufacturers in the 70's. They designed their cars to NOT melt if they got wet or cold

Might I suggest a better set of tires for doing so. The 20 foot drive from the shop out the back of the shop yielded no traction Either that or put skis on it.

Not that CA ever gets this cold, but nice to know if you sell the car and knowing you, you will that it will start in Alaska if need be
