Wont start

Anybody else having problems starting your car when it's below 20 out? Battery is in trunk idk if that makes a difference. It's really annoying having to jump it everyday. The battery is less then a year old.

Forgot to mention it has S2 cams and I'm really thinking about taking them out if that's the problem

Hard start due to low battery voltage

My battery voltage gets low at freezing temperatures. I bought a trickle charger and that solved my problem.

low CCA, cold temperatures, thick oil, cams

all those will contribute to the same issue

what gauge wire are you running from the battery to the front of the car?

this could be part of your issue, but i doubt it. usually best to run as large of a cable as you can. hopefully that's a full copper core wire as opposed to copper-clad aluminum
