In south central PA it's been freaking cold. A couple weeks ago it was -30 with wind chill. This week we've had a few days of 2 degrees or -2 degrees and in the mornings when it's that cold, my truck will start, idle at about 600rpm for MAYBE 2 seconds, and shut off. I don't think it's battery related (I know usually cold starting problems are) because it fires right up, it just shuts right off. Takes 3 or 4 times to get it to stay running.

Not garage kept.

So what is wrong with my truck? Any thoughts?
