I left the car out all day yesterday(high 23 low 5)and started it twice and let it get up to temperature. Turned it off and left it alone for 10 minutes and then restarted it with no problem. Drove it up the road a few miles last night to see how acceleration felt and it drove fine until I was pulled over by a County Sheriff for exceeding the speed limit by 10 (65 in a 55).

I explained that I was only a quarter mile from home and this had been the maiden voyage since the cold weather had started. He was quite nice and wanted to know if the temperature readout on the dash was accurate (showing 3 degrees at 6:30 Pm). No ticket just a warning.

Left the car out last night (high 5 low -6) and started it up with no problem this morning. Drove it to work and just restarted it after letting it sit for 20 minutes (showing 14 degrees).

And thats where we are. Plugs have been changed, new breather hose, new vacume line from the breather hose to the fuel pressure regulator, new air intake hose to the air filter and a new Air Temp Sensor temporarily filling the hole where it would be if it were a 1990.
