96 850 turbo wagon - won't start
My 850 is out in the cold - it's -10 degrees on average where I live right now - I have kept the tank nearly full and added iso-propyl alcohol to keep away from condensation, but yesterday my car wouldn't start after only 3 hours out in the cold. If I try to start, it just catches at the beginning a little and then won't spark really if I keep holding the ignition on. Any ideas for cold weather troubleshooting??

Where are you located? If it's that cold, do you have a engine block heater? Is this the first winter you've had the 850? Any maintenance done to it recently? A few thoughts; check for spark, fuel & air. Make sure the plugs & wires are good, you have fuel pressure and airflow is not restricted. Another thought; move someplace warm!! ;) |

Assuming you are using isopropyl in the correct amount / mixture, right? (I have no idea what that would be). I would buy Gas Antifreeze and use it according to instructions on the label. |
