Recently we had below zero weather and our Saturn will not start. We have the block heater plugged in, a batery trickeler on, and about half a tank of gas in it and it still won't start. The battery is about 2yrs old and we have not had any previous problems with it and the starter is only about 6mos old. The weather is about 25 degrees today but plans on dropping below zero again in the next couple of days. We tried to start it with the weather being warmer today but still won't crank over. Any suggestions? Im wondering if the gas line may be froze? If so what can we do? We do not have a heated garage to put it in and need it running.

HI there,

Thank you for the donation,

What you have to do is check the basics first, you must ensure that you have fuel pressure & flow, it will not be cold enough to freeze fuel. But you may have a pump issue, also you need to make sure that you have a good strong spark and that the injectors are working, also get a scan done to check for any unresolved fault codes, start here.
