	judt DON'T EAT THE CAR

	i don't have any advice, just more well wishes.  i was so 
	worried about my urq when i drove it out from boulder that
	i only shut off the engine in salt lake city, once it was
	time to stop for the night.

]The ur-q turns over, but won't start. Plenty of battery

]checks on coil are OK. Bentley not much help, but IST 
]has lots of checks to do at the F/TCU. Do I have to 
]remove the glovebox to get the plug off?

]The car ran great yesterday, but last night and today the 
]temperature is much colder (hasn't gotten above 
]freezing). Is there a particular sensor that might 
]misbehave by cutting ignition when things get frigid? Ray 
]is going for a space heater to see if that'll help.

]Any help much appreciated. Please respond direct. I'm
