having a rough cold start during winter ...Spark Plugs problem ??
I was starting up my fd3s ytd , it wasn't able to start at the first start.
and I need to pump the gas during starting it up .then is ON.
My an other FD3s frd said he had a same problem like after car wash or cold start but he recently installed the Twins Power then it runs fine now .
is the Twins Power reli able to help ?

It will give you a more powerful spark, if you can afford it go for it.

More spark=more efficiently burning fuel

Also what oil are you using? Thick oil in the winter will also contribute to harder starts.

10w40 just storage during the winter.
mostly I use 5w 20 for summer . Recently the idle is so stable.
it keeps 900-1000 rpm . quite happy ....!!
