1991 honda accord lx 365900 m. my car has recently started giving me a problem starting in cold weather. previous to this i have fixed the radiator, transmission line, thermostat, and replaced numerous hoses. during the summer it always started up fine, but since its been getting cold out it started to sputter before starting. finally, tonight after work it just wouldn't turn over, even after trying to jump it. q\what are some things you think might be wrong with it? i'm not to mechanically inclined and i don't want the people i'm gonna have fix it tryin to take advantage of that. thank you in advance.

Hello !!

Well, question: Cranks good?
Can you Hear the gas Pump "humming"?

remove the gas cap and turn the ignition switch to "on" position and hear if the pump its working..
It should make a humming sound for a few seconds and then turn on..

Let us Know!

Cold weather puts a battery and charging system to the test. Have that system looked at.
