The other logical addition would be an imobilizer hooked up to the Cellphone. If you get up in the morning and your car isn't there, dial the number. Wherever it is, it just stopped.

Perhaps it could be wired to a vac guage, which would determine when the car had fired up. You'd need to have it in good enough tune that you could be sure it didn't need any throttle, and also have a timer cutout so it wouldn't flatten your battery if it didn't start. If the car is manual, it would need to be wired through the gearbox to ensure the car is in neutral.

Can you really start your car without throttle when it's that cold outside?
