    No start after "cold" start.

    So my 97 TJ usually starts right up on what I call a "cold" start. Cold meaning I haven't cranked it in atleast a few hours ish. Zero issues.

    It's the middle of winter here in NZ, so I decided to convince my girlfriend to join me for the day out in one of the local forests. About 7am, 5 degrees out (5 degrees Celsius, 40F for you lot, doesn't get that cold here!) and the first start for about a week. There was a lot of white smoke...
