ok so i just got home from work its 4 in the morning and i havent drove my car in 2 days, its been pretty cold.....so i went out to start it and it started hard....but started, so i let it run for like 10 min, shut it off....i wanted to start it back up because my battery seemed week and i want to see if it would start again, turned it over and nothing........just cranks.....any suggestions?

Well, cold weather will finish off a weak battery. My advice is use a battery charger, a fully charged battery should light your car up. But plan on buying a new battery soon., especially if its over 5 years old.

But if its cranking it wouldn't be the battery.

frozen fuel? premium should be fine unless you go to a crappy gas station with really watery gas.

not true, if its cranking slow with a bad or weak battery it can send the ECU mixed and improper signals and voltage, causing a no start.Originally Posted by Ibwrong

maybe check the ign. control module or fp relay/resistor whatever. if it turns over good u know its not the charging system.

We used to have 1999 2 door Tahoe's at work, and the fuel pumps were a common problem...it was funny, you would walk out to the parking lot and hear everybody tapping the fuel tanks. Sometime it helped the pump, other times it didn't!

Exactly what I did for my Bronco. Carried around a hammer with me and when it started acting up, gave the tank a couple of hits, and it worked fine for a couple of days. Eventually, the pump died totally, luckily in the driveway!
