I have a 92 Camry. The car had a 1/4 tank of gas and I drove it in the morning to park in a lot. The temp during the day very cold -- Chicago in winter. When I tired to start the car, the igniition turned and there was no sound and the car did not turn over. Lights, heat, and all electrical are working. ANy idea what this could be? Gas line freeze? What do I do?

Either your Ignition switch, NSS, or the starter relay is bad, or the starter itself.

Suggested Repair

Check the battery and all connections first. If accessories work but the engine makes no cranking sound, inspect the ignition switch, neutral safety switch (NSS), starter relay, and starter.

Conversation Summary

A 1992 Toyota Camry with about a quarter tank of fuel would not crank after sitting in very cold weather. The key turned with no sound, while lights, heat, and radio still worked. The owner asked whether a frozen fuel line was possible. The expert advised checking the battery and connections, then said the ignition switch, NSS, starter relay, or starter itself could be bad.
