Cold weather issues?

[MustGoFaster]

I plugged my Grand Am in for the first time ever. I wanted to get heat faster in the morrning and it worked great. Started it, went inside for 2 min, got back in the car and the temp was over 100 already!

Yeah, I have a huge cold weather issue! Other drivers!

Seriously, though; my idle sucks but Kracka and I will fix that. Otherwise it's just been fun letting the car get squirley on the roads.

Other than my low speed spin yesterday infront of my apartment building, I've had no issues at all. My car cranks a little slow when I'm leaving work and idles like shit for a couple mins, but it still fires right up.

Well I got my car started. Even with it hooked up to another battery, it still took probably 2 full minutes of it cranking/sputtering for a few seconds, then letting it rest for a few seconds. Probably flooded so much it took even longer to start, and when it finally did start, it didn't seem like it was running right.

After consulting with Peter, we determined it had fouled plugs from being excessively flooded, and was probably running on less than 4 cylinders. When I got them out, 3/4 were pitch black, just completely coated. Replaced them with new ones, and it was rough for a few seconds then idled like normal again. I'm not going to let it sit for over a week again unless it's inside the garage.

I had no problems this morning. No mushy clutch at cold start anymore, yay!

Did a little drifting, too, in the back lot at Normandale. Took a little bit of work without being able to spool the turbo, but by the end I was able to do a full lap of the lot completely sideways.

My TPMS light came on the other night. It was -5 outside and neither my tire gauge or the compressor at the gas station were working correctly. I just drove home on it and luckily it was only about ~10lbs low. But, a good reminder that tires lose air in cold weather.

I couldn't get my car to start for the past 3 days now.

Why can't you spool the turbo? Boost leaks now?
