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 feel you i am tring very very hard not to drive it in the winter i just got my winter beater back and it was so cold that i just went and bought a new die hard because it didn't want to start also! i am going to wait for the weekend because it is BITTERLY cold over here! i think it is time to move down south some!

 

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.

 

i dont know if u saw my post, but my car did the same thing. i tryed to unflood it so many times, but i got nothing at all from it. so i pulled started it!

 

mine starts,idles, and runs like a charm in the cold. it only flooded one day, but with a fuel pump switch that isnt a big deal. it sure is fun to drive in the snow tho

 

No issues with mine...



And sweet forking cross post...



Did you actually post this question at teamfc3s, rx7club, and here?

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.

 

ohh i love my heated garage, minnesota winters suck!

 

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
