Not a good "start" today

[Fatal070]

So I wake up at... let's say around 11am. Went and took a shower and what not and was getting ready to go to class, but before I leave I always start my car, so I go out and the ****** won't turn over! :o
The battery is fine I tried jumping it for the hell of it... no luck (I'm not sure why I tried that I mean I was getting perfect power just no start) I could hear everything working fuel etc but it won't start... I'm thinking starter... so now my car sits in my yard... o well tell me what you all think :yes:

damn it looks frozen :no: i would hate to live where it snowed.

[Fatal070]

Tell me about it man, speaking of never wanting to live in the cold, I forgot to mention I was in Florida from Jan 1 to the 12th god it was great 85 degrees everyday, no rain just sun....

I got my car to turnover finally I wonder what went wrong maybe because it was cold and sat for about a day? I'm not sure but it runs now :yes: b

fuel froze?:confused:

Did you check to see if it sparks? remove the coil and spark plug out and point it towards something metal and have someone try to turn the car over to see if there is sparks. I recently had to change out an ignitor and coil in the freezing weather. I also changed outhe main relay harness thinking it was the problem but it was really teh distributor. Also cehck to see if there is pressure coming out of the fuel filter.

maybe it froze or something?

Man f*ck that shit...we got a ft of snow here the other day (drifted to over 3' in places). All my doors were frozen shut today, along w/ all the locks...I couldnt even climb in through the trunk; I was out there w/ a hair dryer and was 15mins late for class.
So my day started bad too...just not the same.

As for the issue:
What is your battery's Cold Cranking Amp rating?
(I know its too damn cold for my "summer battery" (cheap ass pos) so I use an optima red top now

heh, the igniter could have taken a dump. i know on my accord it did in the summer and i kinda refused to drive it until now. today i deep to my knees in snow trying to figure out the car.

Not sure, I just know the battery was ok because everything worked fine I mean it might have been the battery but I doubt it... It's fine now though... sorry about your horrible start also... bad day's suck I'm fighting with my g/f right now....:rolleyes:

[Mischief]

Sorry to hear about your sucky day's so far.. I know my car gives me a little trouble starting in the morning after sitting for about 8 hours in the cold.. And Darin I think gas freezes at like -150 degrees fahrenheit.. or that's what they said in the day after tomorrow :confused:

my car was a bitch to start yesterday, i thought i had a dead battery but when i threw it on the charger it still had plenty of juice in it. cold weather will do it.
