    My honda has a lot of trouble starting in the cold weather at times not even starting at all. I have skimmed through my owner manual and done all of the routine checks and have came to the conclusion that my car will not start in cold weather. What shall you presume I do?

  2. Normally it could be the cold start sensor. Unplug this, it should
    start right up. It's called `coolant temp sensor. `

    Please post under same subject to avoid redundancy.

    NJR,

    Don't presume anything yet,

    Start by telling the group the age, model, mileage, service history, and
    what you hear when you turn the key ON, when it doesn't start.

    Read this and see if it applies to you.

    I also have problems with my 1993 Accord LX. When I try to start it,
    below 50'F, it takes several cranks, then starts and the engine light
    comes on and idles roughly. When I put it in Drive, the "D" blinks.
    It stays on until the car is turned off and restarted. I also have
    done all the checks and a tune up. Any suggestions?
