Hi! This morning was very chilly when I started my car (3 degrees F) and this was probably the coldest I have ever tried to start it. It started up but idled very low around 300rpm up and down, and then after about 5 seconds it died. I started it again and it did the same thing, I gave it some gas and then it died once more. The third time it did nothing but crank, it would crank twice and then try to fire but nothing. I waited a few hours and tried again but it just cranks, tries to start but won't. I did this until my battery started to die. How do I get my car started? Is it too cold out or did something get damaged with the low idle? I really need the car so if I can't get it running by tomorrow I'm going to need to tow it to a garage. Its not going to warm up until the weekend so waiting around isn't really a choice. Thanks for quick replies !
