[QUOTE="billiebob, post: 422427, member: 17748"] One thing about the NWT, when it dips to -70F which is -57C, there is virtually no wind. Incredibly peaceful. But it was still colder than -45C since both Canadian North and First Air flights were grounded for a few days. Canadian North jets were certified to -40C, First Air to -45C, if you came to Yellowknife on business..... you got an extended northern experience. And yes, you need a system to start a car anytime it dips below -40. I sold my FourRunner since EFI does not understand that cold temperature. Unplugged EFI would just flood the engine. And when EFI floods with a fuel pump putting out at least 85psi you must change the oil. -40, change the oil you need a shop. And in the NWT it'll cost double what an oil change down south costs so I sold it and bought a 4.2L YJ with a carb. Every morning, pull the air cleaner, dump in some raw gas, pump the pedal like crazy, turn the key. It started instantly every time and by the time I had the air cleaner back on and hood closed the tappets had quit clicking and the oil pressure was reaching the head. I kept a pickle jar of gas behind the brake booster. We lived in the NWT as snow mobiles were introducing 4 stroke engines. A dozen of us would spend the night at a cabin, in the morning the guys with 2 strokes, pump the primer, close the choke, starts every time on the second pull. The guys with those fancy 4 strokes had to plug into the generator for an hour to start them. [/QUOTE]
