Why is my car cranking but not starting cold weather?
Cold batteries simply don’t produce the same amount of power as warm batteries, and this effect can lead to starting issues. When it’s cold, engine oil becomes thicker and doesn’t flow around the engine as well. If the battery is already low on power, this can result in a non-starter.
How do I fix my car if it wont start in the cold?
Make sure the radio, headlights, heater, etc., are switched to “off,” so they aren’t pulling energy from your battery and engine. Now put the key in the ignition and turn it from the “off” to the “start” position about ten times. You’re “cycling the key,” which can help warm up the battery and starter.

Why do I have trouble starting my Subaru?
Do NOT operate the starter motor. Now turn the key off. Repeat this process 4 or 5 times and then operate the starter motor. If the engine starts right up and runs fine then the problem is likely the loss of residual fuel pressure and most of the time this is due to the check valve in the fuel pump. (This means pump replacement of course.)
