My sportage starts at 40 below but it doesnt like it. Try cycling the key 2 or 3 times. Every time you cycle the key, it squirts fuel. This can help sometimes. A block heater is a great help in cold climates like in Alaska where I live. A block heater and a battery pad to keep the battery warm is recommended
