Can a Dodge Grand Caravan start in cold weather?
I got a 2006 Grand Caravan. Changed temperature sensor twice, fuel pump twice, fuel pump relay. Still doesn’t start good in cold weather. Have to give it 10 squirts of gasoline with an oil can into the air intake of the throttle body and it starts immediately.
Why does my Jeep Wrangler not start in the Cold?
Mine has begun getting a little harder to start as well…could be a mixture of things though. If you can, put a scanner on it first thing in the morning and turn the key to run, see if you can read what the coolant temp is coming in at- if the computer isn’t seeing it is cold enough, it won’t provide enough fuel in the cold to fire the vehicle up.

Why does my car not start in the morning?
It’s a common occurrence as low temperatures can cause your car battery to produce less current, making it that much harder for your engine to turn over in the morning. The cold can also stop your engine oil from flowing as well as it should, which puts even more strain on the battery.

Car won’t start in cold weather. If the engine is flooded, holding the pedal down (the throttle plate open) while you crank will pull a lot of air through the cylinders and remove the excess gas. When the mixture is close to right and the spark plugs are no longer too wet to fire, the engine will start.
Can you start a Jetta in the Cold?
Yes the cold alone would prevent it from starting but at this point you may need to charge the battery up again and hope that you didn’t flood it by the starting attempt. So charge the battery, wait for warmer weather, and give it a try. I have a 97 Jetta, and this EXACT same thing happens to me, ONLY when it it is cold and damp out.
