you still didnt mention if you put winter additive in the fuel?
a guy I plow with uses a brand new Ford diesel truck and
he had to tow it because the fuel gelled up on him while
he was driving it actually. You need to put that **** in, even
if the diesel says it has it, you still have to add some to the
tank.

DUDE HOLY ******* ****!
I totally just drained my ******* battery trying to get the car to start. I've been having so much trouble with this damn thing.
One solution I've found is: Ether or quick starting fluid. It works great...when the battery stays alive.
I'm waiting for the tow truck to come and boost me, i hope the battery he uses doesnt die too like mine did LOL!
I've been waiting for my cheque to come in for two weeks, first thing i was going to purchase was a OPTIMA YELLOW TOP battery. You can crank for days and the thing wont die (so ive heard) but i havent gotten the cheque yet, most likely it came today...so i was gonna get the battery today...but my car died today.
HO HUM

Well, the RX-7 has a 12a carburated engine and is rotary, therefore it has a choke. It runs on oil, gas and love.
The V-dub is diiiieeesel, it runs on hopes and dreams, it has a choke like handle that you pull that advances timing to keep the engine from running like **** in the cold.
What i need right now for my car is a set of glow plugs, wich i just ordered.
Hopefully my shitty battery will crank my engine over with new glow plugs.

Yes indeed.. Ether is the ****.. 1 quick spray and that thing came alive pissed off... I love it when it runs.. hate it when it don't.. but ain't that the story of cars? Now all I need is phat chronic blunt, some new pants to replace the ones I tore to **** last night, some ***** and a S5 Turbo II and I'll be good.. Ya'll have been the ****.. I'm taking advice from here more often.

unitl someone showed me how to start my 1985 RX-7 GS when
it was really cold, it took forever, then once someone showed me
the correct procedure it fired up in 1 try.
I had a tiny work van that was built on a VW diesel chassis, it also
had a hard time starting, then after a set of glow plugs the thing
started right up.
