Re: Cold weather issues?

Well I got my car started. Even with it hooked up to another battery, it still took probably 2 full minutes of it cranking/sputtering for a few seconds, then letting it rest for a few seconds. Probably flooded so much it took even longer to start, and when it finally did start, it didn't seem like it was running right.

After consulting with Peter, we determined it had fouled plugs from being excessively flooded, and was probably running on less than 4 cylinders. When I got them out, 3/4 were pitch black, just completely coated. Replaced them with new ones, and it was rough for a few seconds then idled like normal again. I'm not going to let it sit for over a week again unless it's inside the garage.
