Kerry,

I tried the hair drier trick up at Tahoe once without much success. I thought as I'm sure you did that I could help the air temp in the combustion chamber get up to the 900* required for ignition. I don't have much need for cold weather starting tricks in the Bay Area. I only need help if I take my 83 wagon up to Tahoe to ski. I'll be going up for a weekend here soon so I might try a heat gun which puts out way more heat than a hair drier. A friend who has had a lot of cold weather experience says that synthetic oil makes the difference. I wouldn't normally waste my money on synthetic oil, but I may put it in on this oil change coming up to see how it does at high altitudes and cold temps.
