Ok i just and tried starting my car its like -4 out now and it just like putted and i had to give it gas to keep it running is this normal? just wondering i got about a 1/4 of a tank of gas in it not sure if the gas froze or what?

 

ne1????

 

just let it warm up..its common sense

 

I'm pretty sure gas doesn't freeze.

 

I'm in Western NY (state...not the city) and it was like -14 last night. My car cranked hard (with less gas than you have), but it started after turning about 5 times. I didn't have to give it any gas or anything though. Maybe you're running lean? I dunno...GL

 

I waited til this morning to start the car. its warmer out about 12 above. and it still wouldnt start. so i got some HEET gas antifreeze and 4 gallons of 95. and it still wouldnt start. and i drove the car just fine yesterday. any suggestions?

 

does it crank and crank and just not start?

 

Yup. and it a couple times it tried to start and just went put put put. i tried to give it gas but i was to slow

 

I'm no mechanical guru...but it could be the starter or alternator? I had a similar problem with a car I owned previously. Hope this helps...

 

try starter fluid found at any gas station.

 

gas can't freeze but if there is moisture in your tank it will.

that is what heat is for

When you first start the car, Turn the key to the assessories position and leave it there for a couple of seconds and then crank it.

 

Gas can freeze. If you live in areas where it drops below freezing often most gas stations put antifreeze in the gas but if you live where it doesn't get to cold they don't.

 

yea, it happens to my car sometimes...just keep on trying, and it will eventually work, atleast that's wat happens to me

 

Just a suggestion but get yourself some drygas. Pour in the full bottle w/ a full tank of gas. Also it's not a good idea to run the gas tank low when it gets that cold as condensation can form.

 

When i first started my car today after it was sitting outside, it sputtered a little bit but just rev it up a little bit and let it warm up before driving it and youll be fine. Its about 15 degrees right now. Everything freezes up...power steering, Brakes, and clutch all feel like ****. VTEC didnt kick in until after about 20 minutes of driving. Definitely you should make a habit of waiting a few seconds with the key in the accessory position before starting, it helps.

 

Same thing happened to me last year after my swap...just let the fuel pump prime for a bit in the ACC position like everybody elts is sayin..

 

Try replacing your spark plugs they foul out easily. Also if its not turning over charge the battery or have someone jump start it.

 

ya i think im gonna replace my plugs tomorrow if all doesnt go well. thanks for the tips. more suggestions are welcomed. thanks guys

 

it could also be the battery...depending how old/worn out your battery is...it wont or will be harder to start under harsh weather conditions (happened to me and when i got a new optium battery i didnt have that problem no more)
