cold start valve SC400??? cold weather....
my car would not start this morning or this afternoon but it is 30 degrees outside...
would replacing the cold start valve fix my problem? i got a new battery 3 months ago. i really need to fix this problem ASAP, i got to get to class as my co-op program is only fir 1 more week this couldnt be happening at a crappier time.

I had a hard time starting my car this morning as well 28 degrees temp. Battery is 2 months old but fuel level was low and I have not driven or start the car in 5 days. I cranked it for on and off for 5 mins nothing. Tried to jump it with with another car nothing. I put 2 gals of fuel and it finally started after cranking for a few mins. Battery was good I think the low fuel and cold weather was the problem. I drove it around for about an hour after filling the tank and all is good now.
It could be your battery, try jumping it with another carand see what happens.

it started with another car.
also i lookd at my grounds and got a .4 resistance in the fuse box. new grounds are a good thing to look at a car of our ages. to anyone having starting problems CHECK ALL YOUR GROUNDS!!!! there may be buildup. a good grounding kit would do great in this case. im ordering one next week but for now i cleaned them all and the car crank up fine.
