E-tec wont start WTF

[Shredder]

Just wondering if you park outside all winter , maybe that water recirc heater kit ( whatever its called ) might be worth looking into..

Sleds don't deserve to be parked outside. Quads yeah; but my sled never sleeps outside!!!

So this might be a reason to get your trailer heated then. Would be a bitch if it sat all night in Vale only to not start the next day ..... I would be choked!!

Building up the muscles in the legs, chests and arms to ensure a good pull the first time may be an option as well lol

shes frosted up.. pull it in warnm it up it will fire no prob.. i wouldnt touch the plugs.. This happened to me last year at minus twenty five when it was high humidity.. after i managed to get it going after putting a heater under the hood but it ran like crap after... So now every gerry can of fuel that goes in it gets four ounces of 99% iso alcohol.. runs like a champ all day every day at any temp... Just my 2 cents that arent worth anything lol

So now that it is liklely flooded is it like the old school carb jobs? Hold her wide open and pull? Or just give it a pull and hope it fires?

Use sea foam. It's cheaper than ISO is.

The crack heads use it and now its big money for ISO.

sent while I should be drinking twisted teas

my cat used to be like that at extreme cold temp. I just pulled it all the way out slowly 10-15 times and it would loosen up a bit then pull like a mf'er till she fires....always worked but was a work out

if your going to use gasline antfreeze or other water displacing products make sure there is no methyl hydrate in them.. methylhydrate has a different burn point than iso and can cause detonation.. iso burn simular to gas. and its not expensive i buy farm grade vet iso at 15.00 a gallon..

[SaskSummit]

1 pull. I guess it truly is the wifes sled. Dont like the cold.

Just to cold. Stand outside tonight and we will see if you fire up in the morning at -26. Lol.

I had to start my XM last winter at -26 a couple times. Took everything I had and multiple tugs to get it started.

They recommend synthetic oil for the 800 etec's.

 

[Sask Sledder]

Ive started mine in -25 no problem. 2 pulls but you have pull it out a foot, focus like Bruce Lee, visualize the victory, and PULL!

 

[Sask Sledder]

If this was your first start up for the season then there was likely moisture in the engine which then iced up your plugs.

 

[Lightningmike]

Glad to hear ya got it going. Have a blast out there.

unfortunately that doesnt work at all. etec has a throttle position sensor. if it senses more than 5% throttle opening during startup it will not fire because it thinks the throttle is stuck open. you could hold it wide open and tug and the plugs wont even fire. would be a good laugh to watch someone do it i guess LOL

Lame, Most EFI vehicles, 100% TPS signal puts the computer into flood clear mode. Crank WOT a couple times then release gas pedal and try again.

No wasn't the first startup of the year. All good now loading up in a few hours hope to head out of town by noon.
