Cold Winter Start

[Joel13]

Hi all,

The other morning when it was minus 3 i went to start my TS and she just didn't want to start i tried a few times before i gave up and left her for a hour. When i came back to her she started up but she felt like she was struggling. Anyone got any ideas what could of caused it?

She starts up now but im just worried if it gets colder she won't wanna start again.

Thanks in advance.

mine sounds as though it cranks over slower on a colder night or morning, but it has always started first time.

cant see why it shouldnt start, its mondern petrol engine it shouldnt struggle at all

Have you checked your spark plugs? Could be as simple as that

Charge your Battery, its going to be using more power to start the car especially in the winter, or if the cars a couple of years old and has the original Battery on replace it, then go for the plugs after if the fault still occurs.

Probably needs a good run to put some charge in the Battery. Keep your ancillaries to a minimum as well

yeah, batteries can run low in extreme cold - give it a good run.

Also, try pumping the accelerator when you crank it - if its very cold sometimes the pump can struggle to get enough fuel into the engine for a spark.
