my friends s4 t2 likes to flood in the cold...i dont know why. but on a related note my 88 n/a sat for a day or two the other day in bitter cold, i put in a new battery and alternator and when i tried to start it, it had flooded itself so bad that it had no compression so i had to do the unflood procedure for a couple minutes, then it sputtered and started right up.
so id say try deflooding it if it sounds like its cranking a strong speed.

I wish i could afford even a beater. im going to college too... *thinks to oneself* maybe i will transfer down south for my cars sake.

if your guy's unflooding techs don't work just pull start it. Sometimes my car floods and won't start with the techniques. I'll take out the plugs and it still won't run. So i grab my tow strap and have someone pull start the car. She fires up everytime. You can't do this on snow though. But that'll get her to run.

You think your car doesn't like the cold?! Try having a supercharger on top of your engine in a daily driver situation! HAH!
Actually, I think I have a injector sticking open, plus on top of that I need to probbaly get a new battery anyways, the current looks like its from 1901

I used to drive my car all the time, it was fun getting in the vert when it would be single digits, frost on the inside of the windows
Car would make strange noises and it would take a while for the tranny to warm up though
