Please help get my car started!! Hello,
I am trying to sell my car and as soon as the buyer comes out to view my car, she won't fire. Car has started EVERY time. It is about 20* out here right now, which may be the problem. Car will crank very strong, but it will not fire. Every once and a while one cylinder will fire. Every other time someone has come to see it, starts right up with a flip of the key. Car has been in storage for a little while with sta-bil in the tank.
Description of car
-Built 355, forged pistons etc
-LE heads
-GM847
-Supporting Valvetrain
-New Opti, plugs, wires
-Car is UNTUNED, it hasn't hindered it in the past
-Car is open headers

Thanks for the help guys. This might do the trick. I don't know how I will jack it up though. Between a half broken jack and the car sitting on a dirt floor, this might get tricky haha. Do you guys think that the cold might have anything to do with this? A couple nights ago when it was about 10-15* cooler it fired up twice with zero hesitation. And all of the fall it had zero issues.

I've never really heard of the cold doing anything besides maybe weakening/draining the battery, but i see you have forged pistons i thought i heard from some on a long time ago that its not good to run them in cold weather? Don't quote me there I could be wrong.
