its moisture that killed her the electronics cannot handle 100% humidity at -10. she put on almost 300k and im going to fix it so that i can limp to school instead of walking 5 miles.

Hahaha. I drove my buddy's 85 to the car wash, and spent $8 spraying off the inside. It didn't wanna go after that.... lol. But after a struggle we got it started and drove home. Those electronics are no good, I tell ya. But EFI does start easier in cold weather.... or so I hear. the coldest it's been here is only 17.
