Does that one have the mechanical air flow "door"? Or the MAF sensor? I think that might be the mechanical door era. I had a 1980 Fiat with Bosch L Jetronic fuel injection on it and one cold damp night (but not -30) it just sputtered and died. My theory was that ice had formed at that point. After sitting a while it started up like nothing had happened. Don't know how to prevent that though.
