Bossman757 Posted January 21, 2016 Share Posted January 21, 2016 I haven't experienced this issue untill just recently. The past 3 nights have been more cold than usual and all 3 mornings my car would not start. It's not the battery however the fact that by mid day after it warmed up my car started fine on everyone of these past 3 days make me think the cold is the problem. Can anyone tell me what could be affected by the cold and lead to my car not starting while frozen? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jetpilot Posted January 21, 2016 Share Posted January 21, 2016 I used to get carb icing on my Ducati but doubt it would be fuel related, what does your volt metre read before starting? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davey_83 Posted January 21, 2016 Share Posted January 21, 2016 Does it turn over by the key first time in the morning? Do you have dash lights? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zxrob Posted January 22, 2016 Share Posted January 22, 2016 A cold snap soon sorts out batteries As said, bang a volt meter on it Below 12.5 volts and its gonna struggle Rob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Juggalo Posted January 23, 2016 Share Posted January 23, 2016 Battery for sure. Just because your car started through the day the day before doesn't mean the battery isn't goosed. Winter exposes weak batteries. get a multimeter on it first thing in the morning, before starting it. If it's less than 12.6v, it's your battery Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
