What Are the Reasons for a Car Not Starting in Cold Weather?

[DelLeah]

The reasons for a car not starting in cold weather: 1. Insufficient battery power: In low temperatures, the car's power consumption increases, and the battery capacity decreases. You can go to a specialized shop to recharge the battery or replace it with a new one in time; 2. Restricted oil flow: In winter, the viscosity of the engine oil increases, making it difficult to flow, which increases the engine resistance and makes it hard to start the car. You can place the car in a warm environment, and after a while, it can start normally. A complete solution requires professional winter maintenance and changing to the appropriate engine oil; 3. Frozen exhaust pipe, carbon buildup in the electronic throttle: The condition of a frozen exhaust pipe mainly occurs when the car is used infrequently. The water vapor from engine combustion freezes on the exhaust pipe, and short-distance driving is not enough to melt this ice. After one night, more ice forms, and over time, it will affect the vehicle's starting and exhaust. The solution is to drive at high speed to use stronger exhaust force to promptly remove the accumulated water in the exhaust pipe.
