How severe cold affects your car (and what to do about it):
Winter is especially hard on batteries. If your car won't start in the extreme cold, one of the most likely problems is that the battery is dead.The good news is that it can be an easy fix: jumper cables are not hard to use. But to avoid a dead battery altogether, the Car Care Council suggests keeping its connections clean, tight, and free of corrosion. It also recommends replacing batteries that are more than three years old.
Problem:Unless you live somewhere where the temperature gets down to 100 degrees below zero, the gasoline in your car will not freeze. However, water moisture in the gas linesbecome icy. "In regard to fuel, one of the things we do see, if there's any water content inside the fuel tank, that water can freeze and clog fuel pickup," Grant said.
