NEED help, starting problems

MustangMike20 · 01-19-2005, 05:31 PM

Hey all, my first post.

I just bought a 1991 mustang GT. I live in new hampshire and the weather here is terrible. Ive been havign problems starting my car when its under 30 degrees outside. It just clicks and doesnt start up. About 3 days ago, it was a lil over 40, and started up no problem. I tried the battery, its fully charged. Looking for a little info on whether it might be the starter, altenator or something else.. Any feedback would be great, can post here, or catch me on AiM under fastnfury18 or email at fnfcivic@lycos.com

Thanks
Mike

hello, i live in idaho where its dang cold now also and this has happened to me once or twice...have someone do a load test on your battery. this is what tells you if your battery is going to be good enough. then i would try a new coil second. then i would pull the starter off and have it checked. good luck
