My 7 hates the cold, i guess. Just last month when it was warmer, it would start up first try, no battery problems at all. Then it got down in temp, i started her the other day and let it run for a little... my AWS didnt kick on so i had to manually warm her up... she warmed up and ran fine then... but the next day i went to start her up and nothing... no power AT ALL. Battery is completely dead. Alternator is hooked up fine and everything, Bought a new battery... same thing, overnight again! Tomorrow im taking the alternator down to advance and having them test it. I definately think i have some kind parasitic drain... a short somewhere or some crap. I cant really tell... everything seems to be connected but the new battery started it and everything, but the next day, again, nothing. But how would the drain not have drained my old battery like it did the new one? The old battery lasted me a full month

mine is not a battery problem mine gets flooded when it is cold out for some reason i tried to pull start it and the smell of gas that came out on my exhaust was so nasty it was like the gas went from the pump right to my nose, but it keeps getting flooded when the temp hits below 20 it was 42 yesterday and no problem lastnight it went below 20 and i didn't even bother, but if anyone is in the area of 18301 please let me know if you could help a brother out because i can't seem to unflood the motor and i can't pull start it anymore. please let me know

ok what is this switch i keep reading about? do i need to run it to the actual fuel pump? because i am going to put a walbro in the car but i would love to get it running first! 
The switch everyone talks about is wired to the fuel relay and allows you to turn off your engine by cutting off fuel to stop residual fuel pressure from leaking through the (leaky) injectors while the engines off, or for any other flooding problem.
