Starting problems
 
Hey, been a while since I've been on here but I decided to come back. I've been having a starting issue after my '98 3.8 has been sitting either overnight or in the parking lot all day in the cold. She turns over, but isn't catching. I put in gas line antifreeze on almost every tank, rarely below half tank. I've been thinking spark plugs may be the issue as I haven't changed them and I've had the car for 2 years.

Anyone else have something like this? or some other suggestions to look at?

Thanks,
Brad.

Well, it happened Friday morning again. I had to call CAA to get a boost. Seems that my battery looses some power to ignite the engine on really cold mornings or when it's sitting in the cold for a long time. I have now purchased a booster pack and will carry that with me.

Hope this helps others if you are having the same issues.
