Default wont start ?

I have a 94 teg ls, 5 speed, stock

The car will not start if its is below 32 degrees out side for some reason.

the car wont even crank I'll turn the key and all it will do is click like the battery is dead.

I have replaced the battery thats brand new. I have also replaced the spark plugs & wires, dizzy cap and rotor and I have also replaced the igintion coil, main relay

As anybody else had this prolbrem? Could it be the starter and if so why is it just having this prolbrem when its real cold out

If its above 32 it starts fine

turn everything in the car off disconect the positive cable and jump the gap with a multimeter set on amps the check the results. if the numbers are above like half a amp u might have parasidic draw wich means eather somthing isint turning off that should or u have some kind of power leakage.

Your starter might be going bad. Have a friend hit the starter with a hammer when you crank it up. See if it starts.

Also check all your cables. The big + cable from the battery to the starter. Also the grounds. The big ground cable from the battery, and where the engine/tranny is grounded to the body. Check where the wire itself attaches to the end terminal. Clean the corrosion & tighten the connections.

1 - Check taht your bettery cables are tight, at low temperatures the led posts will probably contract more than the copper connectors, creating a gap.

2 - Could be a dumb idea, and only menitonnign since you said 32F, but are you running coolant in your cooling system? If it was just water, than at that temp it would freeze, jamming the water pump and possibly stopping the engine from turning.
