There's no question that -28 F is cold, but I have started and driven at -35
F with the FI. The FI was fine, the starter was weak, and the heaters by
that time were pathetic!
BTW, for those of you who may not have been longtime TIII owners. If you
drive in the snow belt, be sure to clean the snow off the louvers on the
rear fenders before you start up; your engine needs that air for cooling and
combustion. This is official--from the owners manual.
