Why is a car louder on cold start?
Any excess fuel that makes it to the exhaust system is generally vaporised by secondary-heated air it’s mixed with in the manifold, with this combustion helping to heat the catalytic converter from cold and amping up the volume for a cold start.
Why does my air compressor not start when it’s cold?
The typical reason the air compressor will not start when cold is the compressor oil. If your air compressor is an oil lubricated model, what happens to oil when it gets cold?
Why does my car not start when it’s cold?
Furthermore, if the throttle body is extremely dirty, it may allow so little air to pass by that the engine will flood (too much fuel in the cylinders, thus the engine won’t start). Either way, a dirty throttle body is easy to cure, so why wouldn’t you clean it?
Why does my AC not run in the winter?
Same in winter with heat- little air flow. Since the air must pass thru the evap fins in both cases, the issue is consistent with the evap coils being clogged (fins). The tech that showed earlier never even mentioned this possibility!
Is the central air blowing or not cold?
Checked the thermostat and was at 79. The compressor/fan is running, and the system is blowing air, but apparently not cold enough. Got down to 76 overnight but is back to 78 now. Unit is pretty old, but I don’t know exact age. Just cleaned the filter.
Why is my portable AC unit not getting cold enough?
A portable AC unit can fail to properly cool off your space if it is not powerful enough, the room is not properly sealed, or the unit is dirty. Unfortunately, units love to act up on the hottest days of the year. At least troubleshooting common portable air conditioner issues might be less of a hassle than you think.

Why does my vacuum have a hard cold start?
Repair the vacuum leak, and you may just have fixed your hard cold start, or poor cold running condition. Another common cause of a hard cold start, or poor running while cold is dirty intake valves. Over time intake valves become coated in a black gooey substance.
