Hi!
Something weird happenned this morning. I tried to start the car( it was -45c last night and about -20c this morning) and it would not go on the first try. It did the second time, but it sounded really bad and it was not revving over 1200 rpm ( usually close to 2000rpm usually at startup).It sounded like it was running on 5 cyl. so I oppenned the hood and played aroung with the wiring. It took about 20 seconds before it started running normaly.
what could it be? distributor cap? wiring? sparkplugs? keep in mind that my battery is new and that I've never had problems starting it in the past! help please!
