Re: Cold Start Problems

It's so easy to recommend (and to implement!) add-ons to try and force the
car to start.  I believe you are better off by fixing the problem instead of
band-aid'ing it by adding extra grounds, block heaters, 16V batteries, TWO
batteries, diesel starters, etc, etc.
 When your stock systems are functioning properly, the car will start, even
at 20 below.  If it won't start, find out why and correct it; both you and
your car will be the happier for it.   My 2 cents.
