I own a 91 Accord Ex Wagon that has been fine until that major cold front just hit the east coast recently. My car was outside sitting for 2 days before I tried to start it in the morning in 19 degree weather.

She cranked up initially and then stalled right back out, which is normal for her in colder weather. Second try usually gets her up and going but this time she wouldn't. I can hear the starter turning but she won't catch and fire up. My battery Cold Crank amps was low and had the auto store charge the battery up. But to no avail, she still doesn't crank.

I then thought maybe water in the gas lines froze up causing it to not start, so I bought some dry gas and put it in, still nothing(plus we just had 67 degree weather 2 days ago). I also just did an oil change on my car and put full synthetic in, so I know the oil didn't thicken.

I'm pretty much at a loss as to why it won't crank up anymore. Any ideas are suggestions that I haven't tried, I will try and test, just need her back up and running. My thought is maybe the crankshaft sensor failed?

So no one has any ideas as to what it might be? I'd prefer not to bring it to a mechanic if possible.

Check for spark and fuel. Spark should be blue or white

Thanks for the suggestion. I Just recently, about 3 months ago, replaced everything for my ignition except for the igniter. But I'll get out there and check it anyways for spark to be on the safe side.

Fuel is another thing. I could be overdue on a fuel filter, I think it's been a year or two already and they only are suppose to last about that long. I'll pull it off and make sure the gas is clean.

It randomly started back up when I tried it today. I put dry gas in a day ago, I guess it had to settle in and find water to absorb but had to wait for a warm day for it to unfreeze first. Appreciate the insight manny

Throw a couple things of Isoheet in it. Gas wont freeze but if theres water in there it will. Isoheet helps to dissipate the water that freezes below 32 degrees.
