Why does your car intermittenly die out when you start it in the cold weather?
Metallicaman1031
a little bit of more information... i drive a 1997 maxima and sometimes it will start right up, and others it will start up and idle down and die like instantly unless i hit the gas and rev it a couple times. I got it checked out like 4 times... my mechanic put a cold start solenoid in it, cleaned all the valved, put 2 cool temp sensors in it and it still has the same problem...anyone have ideas?

Does it matter how many cold cranking amps a car battery has?
Yes, that is how you know that the battery is "strong" enough to start your car in cold weather. A battery in warm weather may have enough amps to start the car fine, but in cold weather, it wouldn't be able to crank it fast enough. A car battery efficiency drops off the colder it gets.

Will a bad starter cause your car to not start in cold weather?
Yes. I have a difficult time starting my car in cold weather. I took the car to the mechanic and he said that frost can cover the bad spots on the starter and this makes it hard to fire. While you attempt starting the vehicle multiple times a good spot is finally found on the starter and this is why you are finally able to start the car. On really cold days it has taken my car 15 to 20 minutes before I am finally able to start it. I hope this information is helpful.
