    Won't start in cold weather?

    My car won't start in cold weather. It's not the battery, and it takes me a few times before it actually starts. Anyone know why?

    I would say try a block heater but I noticed your location is in California.

      Yeah, If its like less than 60 degrees outside and it's been sitting there for a few hours, its kind of hard to start..

          Once should always state what car they have when posting a question. Different E30 modes have different problems. All I can say without knowing what car it is is that intake leaks are the most common cause of hard starting, and that will be worse in cooler temperatures. A smoke test will tell if there are intake leaks.
          The car makes it possible, but the driver makes it happen.

            91 325i, the only mods to it is just a CAI.
            But I'll check the intake.
