starting issues

**matty9902** · 01-05-2010, 02:47 PM

Hey there everyone

Just wondering if any of you with a 7th gen celica gt have had issues with your car not starting when it gets below -20 celcius. I have checked the starter, changed the battery put in gasline antifreeze and still havent figured out the issue. Just wondering if anyone has played this fun game before?

Thanks any help would be greatly appreicated

Cheers
Matt

could be a shitty battery... does anything electrical come on when it's that cold?

Check spark plugs, coils and cable. Check if it start with a boost.

So I have put a new battery in and it has no issues starting except when it is -20 celcius or lower. This is really weird as I havent been able to get any information from Toyota so just wasnt sure if any of you have dealt with a similar issue.

Thanks matt

most likely its because its 20 below.
I have had issues with cars flooding at this temperature, wont start with wet plugs.

considering that the flash point of gasoline is at about -40 degrees so it's probably pretty hard to get gasoline to burn at -20

yes, at sub zero temperatures it poorly atomizes, no vapor = no boom
