...the reason? I like my car. But she is giving me major headaches these days.
It is a 1996 Firebird. 3.8 Liter V6 engine. Auto tranny. 140K miles.
I just had major tune-up work done- new ignition module, new coils, new plugs, wires, etc.
I live in Georgia. It was rather cold this morning- around 25 or 27 degrees, I believe. Could this be the reason for my car not starting?
The battery was evidently working. The radio came on. The dash lit up. When I turned the key, it made a repetitive clicking sound. But it would not turn over.
Could the cold weather be the cause? Or may this be something more serious?
Why won't a car start when it is very cold outside? I mean, is there something common that occurs with many vehicles in cold weather?
Thanks for your help.
PS- the service engine soon light is coming on. It has been doing so for over a year now. My mechanic said that it may do this due to the oxygen sensor. ? It did not come on until yesterday, after being off for a month.
