Kind of funny that this should come so soon after my other cold starting post. Coolant mixture and oil freshly changed, fuel tank is full of premium gas(with fancy Chevron additives that I think include gas line antifreeze), all ignition parts except for the coil are new, car is very well tuned and runs like new most of the time, lots of battery power provided by hooking my friends running car up to it while cranking, warm oil poured in filler neck, and it cranks and almost fires but won't start. No block heater and nowhere to plug it in anyway. I'm at a loss here, every car I've ever had to start this cold has gone just fine provided there was enough amps from the battery. Is there something I'm missing due to the car being a turbo(also intercooled)? I'm very frustrated and almost ready to warm my car up with fire, the great warmer of things.
