If I don't warm it up this way, the engine will die. I always have this problem when leaving it out in the cold for over an hour.

Recently, I have replaced both fuel pumps, replaced the alternator, put in new spark plugs and new spark plug wires. I also use HEET. What could be the problem?

This vehicle has has very few problems over the years until recently.

thanks

You may consider having a block heater installed, or a recirculation coolant heater. Especially if you live in Arctic conditions. You can get these from your local parts store. If you aren't mechanically inclined take it to a professional. Hope this helps.
