Don't be scared! Just take your time and double-check things. And yeah, a 2nd pair of hands is almost required for most of this install!

Well, the car is driving great. I keep the switch (which I still haven't installed yet) set to "high". That way, the power comes on nice and smooth. For a while it was set to "medium", and you'd get that huge jerk of power when it switched on. Not smooth. I'm thinking I might leave it turned off for the winter... don't really need boosted performance in the snow. Plus, I could run regular gas too.

But yeah, the only big issue that I'm a concerned about right now is that with the cold weather, the car is getting really hard to start. I mean, I used to just twist the key, start would crank maybe twice, and it would go. In the winter, it was sometimes 3-4 times. Now (we're still only in November!) and the car cranks for about 3 seconds before it catches!! I'm wondering if I'm losing fuel pressure somewhere and the fuel rail has to re-pressurize? Or if it's the fact that there's extra stuff on the accessory belt (although, it should be free-spinning when I'm starting).

Anybody else with the Blitz having engine starting problems now that it's getting colder? I'm really concerned that the car is not going to start at all once it's actually COLD.
