cold weather hard/no start issue
Here are the symptoms: Car started fine the other day apon leaving for P road to assist someone (it was probably 50 or less degrees out). Plenty of driving until I got to the spot where there was about 15 minutes of me being on the side of the road with my hazzard lights on. Temp was less than 45 degrees out. Car absolutely refused to start.
Second incident was just a few minutes ago (3am, 50 degrees, fair amount of moisture in the air). Car decided to click, then barely labor to start and finally I got it to fire off. I had to get one of the employees of the store to sit in my car that was running so I could get a pack of smokes since I had no idea if it would fire back up.
Parts I have recently replaced (after it refused to start the last time): Starter (3000 miles old starter) and battery (brand new). All of the lights are bright and such if you have them on before starting when it exibits these symptoms.
Additionally, it starts and runs just fine during warm weather (ie daytime) as it did earlier today. Any ideas?
