Temperature plays a big role in electrical connections. Start with the battery cables and check them for corrosion and tightness. You may also have an issue with loose corroded connections at the starter motor itself or dirty/loose ground connections from the battery to the engine or engine to the body

My car doesnt want to start up right away in the morning. Almost like its really cold out and it takes it a min. The rest of the day its fine runs great. Any ideas?

Reason 1 - Gasoline, like any other liquid, evaporates less when it is cold.You have seen this -- if you pour water onto a hot sidewalk it will evaporate a lot faster than it will from a cooler place like a shady sidewalk. When it gets really cold, gasoline evaporates slowly so it is harder to burn it (the gasoline must be vaporized to burn). Sometimes you will see people spray ether into their engines in cold weather to help them start -- ether evaporates better than gasoline in cold weather.

Reason 2 - Oil gets a lot thicker in cold weather. You probably know that cold pancake syrup or honey from the refrigator is a lot thicker than hot syrup or honey. Oil does the same thing. So when you try to start a cold engine, the engine has to push around the cold, gooey oil and that makes it harder for the engine to spin. In really cold places people must use synthetic motor oils because these oils stay liquid in cold temperatures.


Re ason 3 - Batteries have problems in cold weather, too. A battery is a can full of chemicals that produce electrons The chemical reactions inside of batteries take place more slowly when the battery is cold, so the battery produces fewer electrons. The starter motor therefore has less energy to work with when it tries to start the engine, and this causes the engine to crank slowly.

All three of these problems can make it impossible to start an engine in really cold weather. People either keep their cars in heated garages or use "block heaters" to get around these problems. A block heater is a little electric heater that you plug into the wall to keep the engine warm.

My 2005 Toyota Corolla (CE) won't start in cold temps. IT'S NOT THE BATTERY! When the temp warms up it starts. If the headlights are on when the key is turned, they do not dim. I think it is the starter,...

You could be right, it may not be the battery, but something to consider.
In cold weather the damand on the battery to turn and start the engine is much higher than in warm weather.

Often people buy a replacement battery without knowing what the minimum, "cold cranking amps," rating is for their car. And often there's no sign of any problem. But, when the weather turns cold not having the minimum cold cranking amps is now a problem.

Just as a procautionary measure, you could read the cold cranking amps rating on your battery, and then call any parts store to see what battery is called for as a replacement. This could prove very helpful.

Something else that may be helpful to you.

1. You could check on your battery to see if it is a maintenance free battery.
If it's not maintenance free, you should have the levels in your battery checked. If the levels are low it will prevent the alternator from charging the battery up to its peak level.

I hope this helps.

Mine starts fine when weather warms up,drove it yesterday,going to work on it this weekend.i took mine to the dealer and had it put on the computer and it showed i need a new fuel pump,already put new one...

Have your battery checked for cold cranking amps. Some old batteries will work fine when warm. But in cold weather they don't provide the necessary voltage. If the fuel pump is not getting the required voltage from the cold battery, it will deliver fuel with less than adequate fuel pressure, which would throw a trouble code and if the pressure was real low, the injectors may not fire.

It cranks, but it does not run

Have you check the plugs, cables, cap/rotor ?

One thing you can try since it starts good in warm weather, is to ,on a cold morning, take a hair dryer and warm up the suspect part to warm weather condition. Then try and start the car. If it start ok you have probably found the weak part.
