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
