Problems starting in cold

Ive probably slacked on this long enough, but I learned my lesson last night trying to start my car in 8* weather. I have a 95 Legacy LSi, the car is a tank, once it is started. The car HATES starting in the cold. I am looking to just purchase everything i need and do it all at once, it is supposed ...

Im sure I could do a "kill switch" mod, but i think on initial start up, thats when too much fuel is getting dumped in at one time. Thats why i believe it could be a sensor somewhere. the car has been running fine now for a couple days, something Id still like to figure out though. Ive bee...

BHG
