Need some pointers on where to start:

Cold weather hit last night. 18 deg this morning. Cranked the engine but no start. Plugged the engine block heater in and left it, but haven't had a chance to get back to it yet to see if I can crank it up yet.

It would try hard, puff black smoke and then quit. Maybe three or for crank rotations.

In the past I've never had a cold start problem.

Thanks!

 

Try a heat gun or good blow dryer on the FICM if you do not have gauges to check FICM volts during KOEO or during crank

You could copy/paste that on 50% of new threads.

 

Need a sticky dedicated to No-Starts and we could eliminate 75% of the threads on the main page.

Great idea....then you would only have to copy/paste the sticky link to 75% of new threads.
