I dont' see any mention of injector cleaner, and your idea of COLD
probably isn't the same as mine (-40C = -40 F). When it tries, tries,
tries , tries to fire, you're just not firing on all cylinders. Run a
can of TECHRON through it or maybe a few tanks of gasohol to clean the
injectors.
What happens if you put the pedal half-way to the floor like the owner's
manual says? I do it all the time if it's below about -15 C.
