The battery, more than likely, can be blamed for most hard winter starts. When the temperature drops to zero, a battery in good condition will deliver only 40 per cent of its normal power.

Loose. frayed or corroded cable that you may not be able to see with a quick look under the hood can suddenly make a car hard to start in winter when it has been acting perfectly all summer. All these things rob the electrical sys- tem of voltage â€" and in winter the battery voltage may drop to 4 or less, instead of 6 or slightly more (on most cars). Under these circumstances, your engine may be turning over when you press the starter, but there's not enough voltage left to produce a spark. There are lots of reasons for hard winter starts. of course. some of which I’ll discuss in later columns, but the electrical system is usually at the heart of it.
