for two years now. whenever it's winter time, my car is hard to start. i mean it dosnt start at all. my car been sitting in my drive way for two an a half months now. i've change the ignitor,spark plug and wire, crank shaft sensor, distributor, rotor inside of it, and every thing that is involve with the distributor. my car still wont start. i spent over 2 grand now but its nothing good upon it. when the car is warmed up, i have no problem with it but when i set it back in the middle of the night until the next morning, the same thing happen.. it doesnt start.

Possible causes for hard starting when cold:

Battery discharged or low

Malfunctioining fuel system ( I notice you haven't looked at the fuel system so far)

Injectors leaking

Distributor rotor carbon tracked (looks like youv'e changed this so this should not be the cause)
