I am still in america, I think??- so that is -22*F.
no block heater, or I wouldn't of bothered posting. synthetic oil, proper timing, valves adjusted, and 400+psi all helps.
I will say that last winter I had an instance where it did not start at slightly higher temps(lower -teens), but for whatever reason, she lit off today.
I dont really know why we are supposed to pump the pedal-maybe to free up all the linkages?
but that is what the OM says to do.
I wont be offended if ya'all dont believe me, I know what really happened. and I'm sorry your car doesn't start as well.
fwiw, this car has been burning WVO (2 tank) for about 50K miles, too.
stay warm. keep your stick on the ice.
