Starting well in summer - won't start in winter at -20...... 200 1987

Ole silver (245) with over 330k miles (550k kms) - has an interesting and frustrating situation.

It starts fine all summer - runs like a clock. -

When the temperature dips to about -10F - it won't start - even when plugged in.

Cranks well - just won't fire.

The fuel pump relay has been re-soldered - it works fine.


I have been doing some reading - and have come to the conclusion that it is either it is the FPR (fuel pressure regulator) or the cold temp sensor.

HOWEVER - due to the wealth of experience and knowledge out here - I ask - has anyone had a similar situation - and what was the cure for your Brick.

The only snag is I do not ahve a freezer big enough to drive the brick into to test it - that will have to wait till next winter.


Thanks in advance

Goldy

........
And it looks like we'll be blest with a little more rain here in Central Alberta - southern part of the province is bracing for another round of flooding......
