B at 5tard 200 TQA won't cold start again - a question about sparkingplugs

[Louis-Alain Richard]

Q1. what is the collective wisdom on plugs for 10v turbo 5s? copper or -
platinum?

R1: None. My urQ always starts, no matter how cold, and with the standard
"Silver" plugs WR6DS. Changed once a year, at 7$ each. Overkill, I know. But it
starts.

Q2. is there anything specific that would cause an MC2 to flood, during
cold start at -25 Centigrade.

R2: Lack of air ? Since the engine was turning so slow, and I guess the cold
start valve was acting like crazy, this is a good combo for flooding... Try
this: depress the gas pedal, a good 1/3 of its travel, while you crank the
engine. That's what my 1983 glovebox manual says about cold start.

Oh, btw, you can come to my home anytime so we can troubleshoot your infamous
MAC14... But wait a few days, when the weather will be around O Celcius.
