Silly question: is the choke disassembled for the sniper? Never thought to use it after hvn the Sniper...but my buddy has been + insists it helps the idle when 1st starting.

The choke is part of the carb and nonexistent in the sniper. The Sniper may use the IAC as a choke of sorts but whatever it does will all be controlled by its own programming and will not have a cable you can pull for the choke like on your old carb.

We just finished a week or two of extended -35C (about -34F) temps and my cruiser won't start up. I had just put a brand new battery in last month, but I guess the extended cold without plugging in would make me not want to do anything either. I'm waiting for it to warm up before I get her going again.

Your signature line says you have a 5.3l Vortec. It wont start in -34F ?? fuel injected?
