Diesel in cold weather now needs to be warmed before it will fire
I’ve had this car for years with little trouble. It’s the last year before I replace her, but she’s stopped starting in cold weather only a few months before I have the money for a new car. I can get her started by pointing a fan heater at the engine block for five-ten min, but it’s not ideal.
The engine turns over very well. But could the cold be zapping some of the battery power preventing the warming of the engine?
