Apparently my 02 doesn't like the cold much. Could be the older battery, might be the linkage is cold. But for whatever reason it is hard to start. I did finally get it started yesterday after messing with it for an hour off and on. I found that pressing and holding gas pedal all the way down allowed it to finally start. Someone had mentioned once before that to engage the choke on a water choke 32/36 you just press the gas to the floor and it opens, they didn't say leave your foot on it. So I had been pressing it then pumping it and I couldn't figure out why it didn't want to start until I realized that the butterfly valves were basically shut if I didn't hold the gas pedal to the floor.
But because I have a rental right now and the weather has been nasty I haven't driven the 02. Why the rental? The Sunfire has some damage to the rear thanks to snow/slush covered roads.
