Well, it seems like the colder the weather, the harder the start. In the morning it'll crank like 4-5 times, then sputter, then it runs fine for the rest of the day. I checked fuel pressure and spark. Both were fine. (spark was gold/yellow color )

Anyway, did I overlook the obvious battery? The gauge reads fine......but who here trusts a gauge? The only other thing I can think of is that maybe the ISC sticks when it's cold????
