My son installed a set of BOSCH Platinum plugs in his 1990 Celica GT last summer... and they worked well ...in warm weather. We are going through a horrendous cold snap here in Nova Scotia and he has been having a real problem with the car starting ..... really a blow to the ego when my 38 year old point and capacitor equipped Volvo 122 stumbles to life even at colder than -20 C and his Toyota absolutely refuses to start. So I called the local mechanic who used to maintain the car up until my son acquired it and his first question when I told him the symptoms was "What kind of plugs is he running in it ?" He had been seeing the hard and non starting across a spectrum of cars ALL of which were running BOSCH Platinums. So today we went out and picked up a set of Champions (no NGKs available) and even after installing only ONE plug ... due to the -36 C wind chill ... he hit the key and the car started right up after having earlier refused to start to go pick up the new plugs ... yup, you guessed it my old 122 came to the rescue and stumbled to life after sitting in the -20 C temps for over 24 hours .... I run NGKs by the way ....

Anyway ... if any of you are having cold weather starting problems .... you might want to check out what you are running for spark plugs and if it is BOSCH Platinums consider changing them.

If anyone else has run into this problem I would be interested to know ...

regards
