Hah, I was going to say you always respond with "use the search" and never offer help. However in the time I clicked quote you edited your post.

@OP - if your battery checks out good, try adding some dry gas. That usually helps with cold starts. It's called Iso-Heet at autozone and is like $3 a bottle. You use 1 bottle with every fillup in the winter for better starts.

i do offer help many times. check the thread about this guy wanting to do a auto to manual swap on his del sol.
i said the same thing about searching but then posted a link on a D.I.Y auto to manual conv.

and its true. there are alot of ppl that just make an account and do not read the FAQ, use search or read the guidelines

EDIT: your starter may also be not working properly, your battery may be low. there can be many problems and many suggestions with a vauge discrpition of your problem

my apologies for the vague description I was in the middle of school as for the starter I don't think it's the problem I can hear it tryin to turn over the motor and sometimes I'll hear the exhaust too like it's startin up but it doesn't I'll give the isoheet a try though oh and tea the car does idle rough at first when I get I to start usually I have to jumpnit the car starts up fine when it's warmed up or garages but not when it sits out in the cold here in Iowa for a few hours
