Default Re: Engine Dies When Temperature Around Freezing

Thank you for the responses everyone I really appreciate them.

My initial thought led to the battery as well but when I tested it, it would seem otherwise. The water levels are fine in it and the voltage tested 12.6 volts when the car is off and around 14 when it was running. I'm pretty sure it is the original battery though and it has lived in cold weather since it was built. I am going to take a peek at the battery guide here on the forum and choose a battery and see if I can get a new one tonight. I also will test the alternator output as well. Injector cleaner sounds good too, I will get a bottle of STP cleaner and give that a shot.

As far as the transmission fluid, I have had the car for about two years and I haven't replaced it. I was thinking it was lifetime fluid but I probably should replace that as well.

Again I appreciate the responses and I will let everyone know what I find after I try the above!

Thank you!
