COLD & won't start

[DraggnRoush]

I should have put the Roush away & brought out the DD, but it's been so nice driving around in the New England foliage... we got our first frost last night & she's refusing to start!

Any ideas?

See my sig for tech details: basically a supercharged 2006 Roush. Starts to get a little sputter & dies. Then smells of gasoline... I've been trying for 45 mins... letting it sit 10 minutes between attempts.

Steve@DezRacing just saved me... trick is to hold the gas pedal down! Who woulda thunk it?

THANKS STEVE!

My car is getting more finicky starting it in this cold as well. Kinda sucks but I guess that's what happens with the colder spark plugs with a supercharger.

well your tuner will advise you unhook the battery completely, touch the battery cables together, do a rain dance. then it will fire an idle.

mine is set to run way too rich i believe, and so it only starts in the cold.. if the air is too thin she all but floods, and rough idles at about 400 on startup

I get this sometimes when my car has been sitting several weeks??? WTF?? Will not start when key is turned...just randomly fires and smokes out pipes...unless you hold the gas down..then blows tons of black smoke when finally fires up,
