Hello,

Combined with gas-line antifreeze, what you need to do is keep your brick a little warmer. Block heaters are an essential item for any car parked outdoors in Canada unless you live in Vancouver. Substituting that, you can pre-heat your brick with a hair dryer in the intake hose. Make sure to disconnect the hose AFTER the Air Mass Meter, and put a brick on the accelerator to hold the throttle open. 20 mins of that on the coldest moring and you should have no problems at all starting.

Happy Winter Bricking!!!
