Wont start.

I have an 05 Evo SSL 12,000 Miles
Mods: Cam, Cam Gears, Bigger injectors, Custom tune (Reflash)
Intioror mods: 2 warner guages (boost & oil pressure), Turbo Timer
I disconected the system(MMATS Jugernut, 800 watt Pioneer amp)

Resone it wont start its Really Really cold here in Buffalo NY.

yesturday I went out to my car, (it was the first snow storm of the winter wanted to go have some fun ) turned the key and it just turned and turned and didnt start.
It had been really low on gas so I thought that might be it so I grabed the DD and ran to the gas station filled a can with 93 and dumped it in the tank. still nothin.

So today I tested the fuel line, yep it spits at me. ( so there is fuel in the fuel rail)
and I pulled a plug wire and put an inline tester in it glows ( so theres spark)

but just wont run. errr god I love my I thiink im going back to my :vw:

Check ur battery if its cold out somtimes the stock battery doesnt cut it... you should get a battery that has more CCA if ur out in buffalo.

Yeah.. check your battery and such. Also you might want to check your fuses, because my car didn't start at all, it just cranks then my friend found there was a broken fuse and we placed it. After that she started right up

Yeah- battery w/more CCA (cold cranking amps) should help. I work at Autozone and have already changed out so many batteries since the cold season began and no one has been back (thankfully).

well my fathers a Tow truck operater and has a vary powerful Jump box, I borrowed that, piggy back that on the stock battery it will turn over forever just not start.
I was thinking mabye with the larger injectors and the flash I might be dumping in too much fuel and fouled out the plugs thats what Im going to try today.

what plugs does every one recommend? NGK?

this is the first winter this car has ever seen, and I bought it with the mods it has from a lexus dealer in clevlend accoring to the car fax it was a NYC car before that.

If its able to keep turning over fine, I dont think the battery is at fault.
