Re: The Colorado BS thread
Good news: The porta-potty was froze, no splash to drench your ass.
It's cold enough for me.
Bad news: The radiator in my little truck froze, along with the heater core. I've never seen the temp gauge read that high.Work today.

Too cold to crank?
Engine wouldn't turn so I put an electric charger on it and it did make a difference. I put it on slow charge for a while and it at least cranked once.
Put it on hot start and tried and it cranked a couple times.
Did that about 20 times no luck.
Had a neighbor come over and try to jump.
Got it to crank repeatedly but never turned over…
Thinking the only option I have is putting the space heather under it.
Light bulb?
Big time appointment at 3:00 today in Boulder

Re: The Colorado BS thread
If you have cranked it that much you are for sure flooded. Get a cheap set of champion spark plugs and install them. Before you actually put in the new plugs, and after you pull the old plugs, press the accellerator to the floor and hold it there while you crank for a few seconds to dry out the cylinders. Then install the plugs and have a go at it. You might get away with reusing the old plugs but the cost isn't that high and it never hurts to have fresh sparkplugs.

Re: The Colorado BS thread
If you do this to clear the cylinders, be sure to move the spark plug wires well away from the spark plug holes before you crank it. Unless your plan is to fix it with fire. That air/fuel mixture is very flammable. Don't ask me how I know. :flame:

Re: The Colorado BS thread
Need some car advice...
Have a 1992 Paseo, just got the motor mount fixed and they did the cap,rotor, and wires at the same time. I told them NOT to do the spark plugs cause I did them when I first got them, but they said that I needed Genuine Toyota Plugs for the car to run best. That the Campions that I put in do not get to a hot enough temperature. They said that I would get better MPG's if I changed too, if that was true it would be totally worth it!
Should I call this BS and keep in the ones I have? Or go buy some new plugs from Toyota?

Re: The Colorado BS thread
Man, sometimes you just get lucky... the wife and I are in the basement checking some email and we hear this goofy sound like a box getting dragged across the floor, but not stopping.
One of the pipes under the wet bar in the basement burst from the uber-low temps, and we just happened to be down here to hear it when it thawed enough to give up the ghost -- we're about to leave skiing for a few days, and the basement would have been ruined when we got home. Damn lucky. 1 hour and a little sweating later, everything is sealed up tight. whew.
