I've been having some difficulty getting my engine to turn over in the cold temps here close to 0 F. I have a frost heater and if I plug it in for an hr, the car will start fine. It also starts fine if it has any amount of residual heat. When its Ice cold, it may only turn over for half a second and them stop. On subsequent attempts, the same thing happens or it wont turn over at all.
The battery was almost 5 years old, So I replaced it, but there was no change. At this point, I'm thinking the starter is tired and needs to be replaced.
Does anyone have any other suggestions?
