hi everbody,
I have a question about my 1989 buick lesabre w/ the 3800 engine. When it gets below 18 degrees the car doen't want to start unless I put a heatlamp facing toward the throttlebody and a blanket over the engine. This is w/ a good tune-up.Somebody told me to use an octane booster, but I shouldn't have to since I also own an olds w/ the same engine an it starts fine in any temperature, and both are designed to run on 87 octane gas. Any ideas from anyone would be greatly appreciated !
