Question:
It's cold outside, very cold and I really haven't had a problem starting my car before. Someone said it could be the fuel filter clogged and mentioned something about starter fluid.
Answers:
It probably flooded. Pull the fuel pump fuse and crank it for a min. You may need to pull the plugs and replace them
My back defroster in my car doesnt work.?
PUT SOME DRY GAS IN IT.that car is fuel injected. that car never ran off of a carb. and it could be that it is starting hard because the battery is frozen. where i am that happens quite a bit. try pluging the cars block heater in, it will keep the engine warm, and the battery won't have to work as hard to start the car.
Is $320 a lot to fix a gasket valve cover?
The starter fluid thing is bogus! no such thing. Unless you mean starting fluid. then yeah that could help. use it in moderation though. Use too much and you could make big problems in your cylinders. You could have moisture in the fuel and the fuel filter could be clogged and have frozen crap inside of it. It also depending on what your definition of very cold is could be your oil is too thick to get your engine to turn over.This happens in Canada and Alaska type temps. people up there plug their car up at night and has an oil pan heater to thin out the oil in freezing temps.

1999 Pontiac Montana intake manifold gasket leak?
What's Up. Ask a friend who has a small volt tester to check the battery across the terminals after sitting for 8 hrs. If the voltage is 10 volts or less you need a new battery or have any car dealer perform a load test on your car battery. Do an amperage test on your starter. If your car has the original battery or if the person doing the test says the cold cranking amps are low do not hesitate, get a new battery. My moto is get the largest most powerful battery that will fit in your battery box. If the battery is fine, be sure all wires to the starter, starter drive or Bendix as it's sometime called are tight. Have them clean the battery terminals and tighten them properly. Check your last oil change slip. It probably needs changing. be absolutely certain they use the correct viscosity oil. I'm quite sure it's 5W - 30. This is actually a high viscosity motor oil. High viscosity means it flows more easily at low temperatures. Low viscosity flows slower at low temperatures 10-W-30 - 10-W 40 for example. Stick a can of isopropyl alcohol (dry gas) in the fuel tank. Be sure the plugs and wires are in top shape.------------------------ I'm sorry to dump on you like this but these things always crop up in cold weatherMore Questions & Answers ...
