Default Stayin' Warm in a heated car

I'm not bragging or anything, but it was -2 this morning and both my '04
and my wife's '05 started with one push of the remote from my nice warm
living room. My daughter had to go out and start her '02, but it turned
over on the first try.

My wife's car usually stalls right after starting when it's below 20 or so,
but the remote automatically tries again and it always stays running on the
second try.

I know I'm wasting gas/money, but it's safer to drive when you're not
shivering. ;-)


Reading your text reminded me of this classic:

Beach Boys, Little Deuce Coupe.
That said, may have found the problem, dirty connection
on the ignition coil, or the ignition module.
