@kazimann I had to do similar once with my VW Polo when the injector froze (drive it on a really wet day just above freezing, then park it, sudden change to snowfall and very bitter air = trouble)... Luckily they don't put them in place of the carb in the old "dustbin lid" airbox any more.
Makes them less liable to freeze ... but damn near impossible to forcibly warm up if they do! The "stick a burning torch up the intake" trick should still do some good, though.
@shashelasse Forgive him, they just don't know any better. They'll see what real trucks are made of when they bring their big three junk to face our trucks: scania and volvo in the frozen wastelands and tratra in the muddy roads of the east.
Then there's that V6 block Alfa Romeo bought from GM and fitted with their own heads and now gets the same power as the same GM block does in the US with ONE MORE LITER DISPLACEMENT. We've beaten them for decades, and we are doing it as we speak.
My comment must have been an answer to mitchellgonzales, I know a little bit about diesel engines including that some of them mas a flame heater in the in the intake originally. For instance my ol' mans MF 35 with Perkins 3-cylinder, if its VERY cold you turn the key the other way and hear a "boof" when its activated. Its a glowing spiral with a diesel line connected to it to create a flame. But starting fluids isnt healthy to diesels, you can even crush the pistons. And dangerous with a heater.
