car sit outside? it may take some time for it to start if its really cold. mine is that way. the battery connection to the starter can be pretty groddy since it sits so close to the ground. the owners manual tells u how to start the car in the cold weather. since i switched to a red top optima starting issues have reduced significantly. i have a 4th gen honda and the battery cables and connectors r a real pain.. one if the few thing i dislike about hondas.
