I haven't started mine for a couple days but on Monday morning it was -10 and my truck started fine without being plugged in. I had no issues like what you have. Kind of sounds like your turbo timer may be on the fritz. Try turning that off to see if it helps.

well, i popped the hood to charge the batteries, and it had a funny smell, unhooked the adrenaline and it sounded like a bunch of marbles in there, guess its time for a new one. but after charging the bateries it was fine, no problems while the adrenaline was unhooked. guess i will call quadzilla tomorrow.

Sounds like somethin might be messed up with your box. I know my brothers comp on his 24v will still be off after startup when its cold out and its been sitting for a day or so. Sounds kinda funny though

Sounds like it might have something to do with Turbo Timer.

Well everything worked just fine this morning but it was only -1. High idle kicked in and so did 3cyl warm up. Yesterday none of that worked either. Pulse monitor had all it's readings too. Yesterday the monitor read all 0's. Who knows. Just another little winter wonderland snafu I guess

my pulse doesn't like the cold. It reacts pretty slow and the EGT gauge reads 68732 until it warms up a little.

Ive had similar problems. Sometimes my adr wont even come on when i start it up, though when the truck seems like its warm and I shut it off then turn it on again the adr will come back on. This only happens every once a while. Its not like its super cold her in Ohio soooo...It has only done it this winter.. Not sure what thats about...
