Hi!

I live in Boston so it really isn't that cold down here just humid and humid and humid.

But even when it's at its coldest, the engine would fire up right away as soon as I crank it after the pre-glow light goes off. I don't even wait.

Last time in Summer I had a hard starting problem and I changed the oil and everything was back to normal. I hadn't even covered 3000 mi. yet. I guess it's the time more than the mileage for me (I drive very little)

I'd start by going to Pepboys and buying some Redline DFC or whatever additive you prefer. I have been using Redline DFC and my engine has been very healthy I think.

Then replace the fuel filters and air filter.

See if they help.


Good luck,
-Holson-

*ps after messing with cheap fuel, my 300CD only drinks Texaco Premium Diesel - this thing loves expensive drinks I guess*

I would keep an eye for Amoco's premium stuff but I have yet to see a station.
