Evo not starting

Maybe a dumb question. Have not driven car in about a week and decided to drive it today because it snowed (it's also 15 degrees ) . Car does not turn over and I hear the fuel pump come on . I tried a few times but it's just the fuel pump turning on and struggling. The car was also pretty low on gas when I had parked it. Should I add gas and try to start or just wait for warmer weather?

If it doesn't crank the battery is dead.

Probably the battery. Try and get a jump for someone or a jump pack. Cold weather can tear up a battery.

I always check battery terminals and connection at the starter before I think of anything else. If it doesn't crank you may also have a dead starter or bad connection.

if all of that fails and you know your battery's good, give your starter a few strong taps. sometimes with age or extremely cold weather they freeze up and it just takes a couple of knocks to get everything loosened up.
