Default Cold weather car problems

My car will not start in the mornings when it is cold out? I am a FL boy so i usually don't have to deal with this. Is it just a matter of ......?

You have to understand usually the temp is not below 75...Thanks for the help.

What excatly is it doing? I am also a "florida boy" My friends nor I seem to experince any problems!

I also highly doubt it The kind of coolent/anti-frezz you are using!

First things i would check are tune up items, ie.. plugs, wires, cap, rotor, etc....

It may not be getting fuel, so check for that!!

good luck, eric

it will start, rev, then die... If I do it about 10 times, the motor will heat up enough to run. It is not even that cold out 50s-60s

Once it is warmed up, she runs like a kitten.

battery is good, it is getting fuel(i think) why would cold effect fuel? First few starts= it will rev to 3-4 k then die. Next few starts to 5-6 then die. Then heat ups and fine. Darn this cold weather.
