Failure to Start
Just polling, what is the most common reason for the failure of vehicles to start in extreme cold? Fuel-line freeze up, coolant frozen-up, battery shot, etc?
The coldest I've had to start a car was -20F in Minnesota with a year-old Taurus a while back. Only problem was a slightly sticky throttle, but no big deal -- it started and went. The most problems that I've had was was with a junk carb in a '77 Olds that needed to idle for 15-minutes in anything colder than 35F or it would stall-out cold. Good-old Quadrajet (grumble)...
