It's very cold outside and my car does not function well in the cold, however this time it just won't start. I've had my started check and my car jumped and nothing. It will turn over but it won't start.

What might my problem be?

Can you get the vehicle in a warm place, where you can do some testing? It could be several things. Might be ice in the fuel line or something froze somewhere.

Can you check for codes? Can you do some of the basic tests, like checking for spark at the plugs and fuel pressure. If you don't have a warm place to work on the vehicle, extreme cold is too dangerous. Be safe
