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.

What is a car remote starter used for?

A car remote starter is used to start your vehicle’s engine from a distance without needing to be inside the car. It’s handy for warming up the engine in cold weather or cooling down the interior on hot days before you get in. With the press of a button on the remote, the car starts up while staying locked, and it usually runs for a set amount of time before shutting off if you don’t enter the vehicle.


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.


Engine turns over but car wont start when cold when warn car starts 1996 Kia Sephia 1.8 automatic?

If your car works fine when its not cold and only wont start when its cold outside then its a bad solenoid and most likely the one that regulates voltage to your starter. This solenoid can not be replaced with out replacing the starter because they are combined. Unless you have a aftermarket starter that will let replace the solenoid without replacing the starter. So all you have to do is take it to a shop and have a new starter put in and your prob should be fixed.
