Hmm,

Two things I would check off the top of my head.  

1.  Frozen fuel lines?   Might want to try some gas line antifreeze just
incase there is any water in the system.  MythalHydrate works fairly
well around here (but we only get to about -10 max) to remove the water
from the lines.

2.  Start is on its way out?  I know I had a bad started in an old
rabbit and it got to be very slow when it was cold.  Hot summer days,
starter was great. Cold winters and it could barely turn it over.


Just something to think about..

Cory
