According to my scanguage the coolent temp was below 0! Although it warmed up fairly fast. I hate the cold and winter...That's my warm up story

we got below O F too, the car doesn't crank more than during summer time... and the idle is normal. The only noticeable thing is the clutch pedal which is kind of stiffer. I use synthetic oil if that changes anything...

The synthetic oil does help alittle.So does a better oil filter,I just switched to TRD's version.
