Turning over hard in extreme cold weather

Could you be using the wrong grade oil for your weather conditions? If not, likely bad starter motor, battery cables or grounds.

2004 chrysler t/c wont start in extreme cold weather. will turn over but sputters.

Did you try holding the gas pedal to the floor when starting ? It's getting too much fuel or not enough . Hooking up a scanner that can view sensor data parameters should be done to see which sensor is out of range . Coolant temp sensor possibly .

My 2000 lesabre has been having issues from what i though was cold weather because it went below zero and wont start anymore seeing how it has been below freezing ever since. i thought that was the cause....

Could be a bad coil, bad spark plug, bad fuel injector, however one cylinder will not cause a no-start condition. Plug the wire back in and see if it will start.

put a charger on your battery, you can lose up to 60% of battery power with cold weather , you may have to get a new battery if it is old, get it tested,

Won't start in cold weather

Are you saying the starter doesn't spin the engine over? The click it comes from the engine? If so then you have a defective starter solenoid, the design of the starter used in this truck is Japanese, the problem comes from the heavy electrical contact in the starter solenoid get burned away, when it is cold the large metal contacts shrink and make no connection, heat it up and the contacts expand just enough to make the connection and supply battery power to the starter motor itself. Replace the starter and the problem will go away if the answer was yes to my 1st two questions. If you want to replace just the solenoid parts then you can get them most likely from HERE

2004 ford exploer new battery still not kicking over

Make sure you have good clean connections from battery to starter and ground. If all okay, you may want to have a starter draw test performed.
