Hi - I live in Alaska, where temps. drop very low (below zero) but the rule of thumb is "plug at 20", meaning plug in your car at 20 deg. or below...Today must have been right at 20 deg. or just below that today and my 1997 Dodge intrepid wouldn't start. It finally did, but I only plugged it in for like 2 min. and it sounded like I blew or damaged something. However, everything seemed to be working fine on the way to the store and back so I should be good. Anyways with the intrepids or any car at that, get an extension cord and plug in the plug in the front of your car to an outlet and after 20-30 min. your car will start just fine (plus it's really good for it!).

Have a 98 2.7 litre that would do that. Before doing anything else, replace ASD relay in engine compartment fuse block (diy $12). Would start fine cold, but often would not start after shutting off when engine was warm. Had to wait until engine compartement cooled off. Was getting fuel but no spark.
