I know I shouldn't drive my rex in the winter but I have no choice. So anyone have any tips for winter. My cars been struggling starting recently. Plugging in always helps, but what other maintnance stuff can I do, ie spark plugs etc. Any tips?

Run the car 15 minutes at night before it gets cold. It usually helps startups the next morning.

Kinda shitty asking this considering Spring officially starts In 2 weeks.

I'd say get a Battery with a higher Cold Crank.

When starting in weather under freezing, turn the key on, press the accell pedal all the way down only once, then try cranking (as per the owners manual).
