Well, since it's been about 5 degrees, and often even colder than that at night, now my GT won't start.
I drove her around a bit on Friday night, while it was about 20 out, and she ran fine. Then it dropped to negative numbers that night, overnight, and come Saturday morning, she wouldn't turn over.
It seemed like a dead battery (or at least an extremely weak one), so I had my roommate jump the battery for me. Once we did that, yes, it turned a little bit quicker, but still not nearly quick enough to get going. It almost sounds like the oil or something is too cold, therefore, too viscous, to allow the engine to move. But I am running a 5W-30 synthetic blend, so I don't believe that would be a problem.
Any ideas what this could be? I've spoken with my father (This was his car for 3 years, before I got it), and he suggested getting a trickle charger for the battery, and perhaps spraying some starting fluid into the Carb. Anything else, aside from waiting for warmer weather, which may help? I'm afraid the starter is just gone, and it'll be a pain to replace with the car sitting on the side of the road. Thanks.
