Unhappy Re: Intermittent start and kill problems

MY GAWD !! Would you guys believe that since I wrote the post before this one that I still haven't fixed the van because I'm restricted to an outside workspace and its been below freezing every day/night since I arrived in this ye ole land of the North. Last night it was down to -2 and while I'm sure others are experiencing even colder climates right now I just can't believe how awful this is. I don't know how anyone gets any business done here in the North during winter (I've lived in the DEEP South my whole life up until these past few weeks) and its almost to me like people shouldn't even live in this kind of environment. I can't imagine living in Alaska or Canada. Anyone have any TIPS for working in these kinds of cold temperatures other than LAYERS? LOL - I just can't believe how cold it is here.

Update on the van though: I cleared off some corrosion that was between the ground strap end mount between it and the alternator mount point and I really think this is what got the van started. So keeping the corrosion off that point till I get to work on it is key. That corrosion remover and corrosion prevent spray stuff is a good thing to have on hand.
