I removed all my emissions, rats nest, cold start, etc. last summer. i have never had a problem starting my car until recently. keep in mind that it is december and it has been about 40-50 degrees every day.
also, my fuel pump relay died, so i had to hardwire my fuel pump to my battery (i put the stock pump back in) and put in a switch to turn it on and off..
so, to recap here, the reasons my car sucks:
its about 40 degrees outside and i have to cold-start assist or emissions and no extra battery and no car to jump mine with.
fuel pump relay died so i had to hardwire the fuel pump to the battery and install a switch. giving it a costant 12v
my asshat battery only gives me about 4 tries to start the car because it doesnt hold much juice.
when the engine catches, the rpms jump up to about 200 or so and hold for a second, then the tach drops to 0 and the car dies. it takes me about 5 or 6 times to get it to catch and let me hold the rpms to about 3500 or 4k rpms so it will hold its self afloat...
what can i do? i cant let my car sit for 4 hours in the cold (let alone an entire night) or i am stranded and its really getting annoying

can be weak battery can cause this hard to start, but your holding idle etc..can be afm,tps,waterthermo, etc....i know it's not those because u checked them already, try checking ur compression see if ur engine is still up..
