Place the car on ACC and see if you can hear the Wally working. Also, if your battery is old you may want to try testing it. It could also be a bad ignition switch. Keep us posted and good luck!

Update.just got home and it's around 14* outside.after cranking like for 15 sec car fired up.all I can think off is fuel got so cold that it was unable to ignite.thanks guys....or fuel pump about to say good bye.

Oh, put that isoheet or whatever it is called in the tank. It will start up better. Thanks for reminding me, ill have to do the same also.
|
Cool thanks man.

You keep your car on the drive way as well?

What spark plugs are you running? Had that problem last winter when I was running BR8es plugs, went a step warmer to br7es for cold months, solved my cold starting issues. This was on E85 if that matters.

Your not going to hear the wally working until the car is cranking, being that the fuel pump relay is controlled by seeing a signal from both the crank and cam position sensor, as well as the ecu immobilizer. Unless of course the car was rewired for aftermarket pump applications.
