Thankyou to all in the newsgroup who answer my requests for help over and over again.
1) Grand Prix 2000 3.1. Very cold weather in most of North America and especially here in Alberta. My master key(s) somehow trigger the security system to shut down my friggin car. The Valet key (thank goodness I had one) does not. This puzzles the dealership and local locksmith as well. Please help.2) My daughters Dodge Avenger is driving me crazy and I am in the middle of a cash flow problem - thus, I am asking the group again for help. Low mileage, good battery, 5W oil, block heater. Even when plugged in in moderatly cold weather all night (say -21C), the car is extremely hard starting. I am very suspicious of the block heater but two mechanics have checked out the vehicle and say its a great car in great condition. One suggested certain engines have a very efficient / tigtht piston constructon (blah blah). I have trouble buying this if the block heater is working (as they say it is) and on all night. Do you guys think the engine type/efficiency thing is possible ?
Thanx Again for any comments. Fud
