cold meens no start?

I just recently did the vats resistor fix and car was running fine all day. I went to get up this morning and my car wouldn't crank the starter was working and it seemed to want to crank up a few times (is this a timing issues? I'm lost)

Look in the Prom section for a cold start problem... they can not find issue but I think it is tempreture changing resistence, when I make bypass resisters I noticed they changed with temp when soldering, then back when cooled.

Since you did this bypass try doing what they are doing... heater in interior/cabin to warm it up and see if it starts. This would answer their issues as well as yours and my theory. Then measure your Key resistence, bypass ressister and it has to be very close, small varibale margin. Then make new resister to exact.

I made mine exact and have no issue in heat of summer or so far this winter down to 20 degrees.
