The spark wires and the spark plugs were replaced roughly 2 years ago and the fuel pump was replaced 3 years ago. Aside from that, it was quite trouble free. I have this cold start problem last winter too but only when it is really cold. I can really use some help here to correct this problem.
Thx in advance!.

I should also add that once the car is started in the morning, it will will fine for the rest of the day. It seems that overnight when the temperature dropped below zero, the car will not start the next day without having the block heater plugged in first.
Thx in advance for any suggestions for this problem.
Nikki
