really cold outside...... start the car it runs for like 10 seconds and then shuts off

then i start it again and it is peferectly fine

I did change the plugs over the summer to IK-22's and gapped them to stock specs

and i added octane booster to my last fill up

that is really the only thing i have done to mess with the car

Relax, happened to me too recently.

billman will chime in soon I'll bet, but in the mean time, it is my understanding that the car is just "learning" that it's cold out. It should work itself out.

You car is fine.

BTW....take those piece of crap plugs out and put the OEM ones back in. I'm tired of explaining why, so search it up.
