Cold weather can affect a car starter if you overwork by holding it in the on position too long and repeatedly. The starter motor can wear out.

What car starters are rated best for cold weather starts?

Your car starter has nothing to do with cold weather starting so a factory standard starter would work just fine. However, solid fuel pressure and strong spark is the most important aspect in cold weather starting. Therefor, a high amperage battery will help a great deal.


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.

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.

Original Poster answering his own question: As it turns out, while trying to get it to turn over, my starter locked up. We took the starter out (not fun), took it to get it tested, and sure enough, bad starter. Replaced the starter and the car fired up just fine! Hope this helps!
