Well today we had a wind chill of 20 below zero, and I haven't started my truck in a couple days, so it sat until this morning sunday to go to the store.
Its a 98 f150, with a 4.6. Totally tuned up, running 0w30 german castrol for the winter. Truck runs fantastic. Battery is good everything is good.
When its that cold it won't start with the remote starter because the remote starter just cranks it for a second, then quits, then tries again five seconds later. So I have to physically go outside to start the truck which sucks.
Then I had to crank it for a long time before it would start.
So, I thought maybe I had a frozen gas line or water in the tank or something. The fuel filter is new also.
I decided to pick up a couple cans of b12 chemtool, and pour one can in the tank and see how it goes. I'll save the next can for next week. They seemed to be a good value for 2 dollars for a 16oz metal can.
Do you guys think that this is going to help out my sluggish cold starts?
Its weird, it will only struggle to start first thing in the morning. All the rest of the starts, it fires right up.
Thanks,
Justin
