Hi. My car won't start in weather, anywhere under -27 Celcius even though I have the car plugged in for the block heater. In warm weather, it seems to run fine. I have the car parked outside the apartment where I live. What can be done to make the car start in cold weather?

Thank you.

Yours Truly,

John in Canada

John:

When it doesn't start, have you checked to see if there was spark and fuel to the engine? At this point I am assuming that the starter is working and turning the engine.
