poor starting for cold weather
My 87 16v is starting poorly with the cold weather. If
it weren't for the new battery it wouldn't start at
all. I let the starter crank for a few seconds then
stop. I repeat this about thirty seconds later. Five
minutes of this and it started this morning. Tonight
the temps are dropping to -15. At this point it is
safe to say this isn't caused by the ignition system,
all that checks out. After the car finally starts, it
runs fine.
Things I plan on checking for are:
1. cold start valve
2. vacuum leaks
3. auxiliary air valve
4. cold control air pressure
Any other ideas out there would be greatly
appreciated. I would also like to apologize for not
paying attention when this topic came up last week.
TIA
