Re: Best Winter Tire
Just a quick question.... today was the first time it snowed here (CT). I went outside to start up my car and it took 4-5 trys to actually start it. Why? Just wondering what it could be? Spark plugs,plug wires,battery? thats my guess...

Yeah answer Ultra's question and we can prolly help out more. I warped my intake manifold last winter when it got really cold. Mine started to turn over, would almost catch and then not. Second try would sometimes work. I doubt that it isthat cold yet though.

Re: Hard time starting....
On a fuel injexted car you should never need to give it gas to start it. I would check the plugs first since that is the easiest and then the wires and battery. If its cranking and not turning over it usually means you either dont have a spark or dont have fuel.

Re: Just Some Custom Interior
Do the following.
1. Check your plugs, replace your plugs.
2. Same with your plug wires.
3. Get a BETTER battery with more Cold Cranking Amps.
4. B12 Chemtool, put a bottle in when your tank gets low, once every 4 to 6 tanks.
