I went outside this morning (snowstorm) and i went to turn my car on, it turned on and made the noise that it makes just before it starts the steady idle and then pfft it cut out and died...so i went to turn it on again and the ignition just kept turning. I checked the battery gauge which was OK not quite the middle just a little less. Well I let it sit came back home about 2 hours later...turned the ignition and POOF it was all better. Was it the cold weather? My other thought was since I had less the 1/4 tank (no money to fill up yesterday) that since it was cold the gas got like stuck in the line or something?? I kno gasoline can't freeze...or at least at tempatures around me, but the hell if I know what happened. I didn't really care today considreing i had another car to drive, just don't want this to happen again...when I actaully need to leave at the instant.
 






you would be suprised I did that once this year and my fuel pump was loud as hell i think the gas started to freeze but since then i kept it above 1/2 everytime it gets really cold.
