Re: "Hard" Cold Start - Noisy Fuel Pump

[Dan Wolf <d.wolf@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Do you keep your ST in a garage?  I'm also in Colorado, and on the colder 
mornings, mine has made a bit of a buzz/whining noise for a couple seconds, 
then stops as usual.  I hit the starter and it fires right up (never 
touching the throttle).  Mine's in the garage, so maybe it just doesn't get 
as cold as yours if it sits outside.
