Does it turn over? Do you hear the fuelpump running ? Is the battery ok ? Do the intrumentlights show when you turn the key? Is there gas ? Etc etc.
It is problably not related to the temp so please provide more info !

This sounds more like a quiz question than a real question. If I have a real question I check my thread regularly. Yes, I know you can subscribe to your thread, but emails from the forum do not always come thru immediately.
