Wont start in cold weather

My fusion wont start in cold weather, it also wont start sometimes even when i just shut it off, its very off and on i did notice that when i get gas the sending unit wont read what the new fuel level is and when that happens it wont crank over. all my lights and acc work just fine. when this happens i have to jump it to get it started. Any ideas what it could be?

If jump start always works, the problem is the battery or poor connection to the battery.

SOURCE: 98 chevy suburban engine turns over but wont start.

did you do a fuel pressure test? or did you just push in on the valve on the fuel rail and gas came out? if thats all you did, that will not tell you anything.you GOT to do a pressure test. just 3 to 5 pounds under and it will not run. fuel injection is fussey. you can rent a pressure gage at most major parts stores. they can even tell you what the pressure shoud be. just because you can hear the pump run, dosent mean its pumping, or at least the right pressure. did you also chk.for spark? need to do that to. still need air, fuel, and fire to make them run. good luck.

Check the starter solenoid. Usually mounted on a fender well. Find by following the + battery cable.

SOURCE: ford f250 superduty turbo diesel 7.3L Will not crank

Charge the batteries. take a Reading to make sure that you are getting almost 14v to both batteries. If it is not charging then take the alternator back off and have them check it. you might have bought a bad one. There is a way to test the glow plus with out taking them out. ( Take a piece of wire long enough to reach all the glow plugs from the battery. unplug the glow plug wire.If you touch the end of the glow plug with the hot wire it should make a little spark. if no spark then the glow plug is bad. do this to each one, but one at a time)

Why does a 2006 Ford Fusion have a strong vibration when stopped and in Drive?

If there are no check engine lights could be a bad motor mount or two. Would have them checked. Try putting car in neutral and see if vibration disapates a little.

SC2 car cranks and starts sometimes.put new plugs and wires and noticed oil on the 3 and 4 plug. Car once started with some starting flluid runs fine. and will restart. weather is getting cooler 20 degrees...

A common problem with the 90's engines was the ECTS (electronic coolant temperature sensor) going bad. Seems when attempting to start the car, the computer in the car will only allow enough gas it thinks is needed to start. When a car is cold, the computer gives more gas initially, until the engine warms up, then gives less gas. When starting a warm engine, less gas is needed.

If the sensor goes bad, it always tells the computer that the engine is hot. The computer give less gas to a cold engine, and sometimes it will start, sometimes not. Its a pretty cheap part, and a do it yourself one, just research it a bit on line...good luck

Ford thunderbird wont start in Cold weather

change distributor cap first and see how it goes could have a crack in it.Failing which you need to test the ignition module when its cold as sometimes a component will break down and not work when its cold ,this is very much a hands on type job so if dist cap doesnt cure it call a mobile mechanic

My mercedes e300 (1989) starts and runs ok but then cuts out.

I had a similar problem with my 1986 300e , which got progressively worse until the car was no longer driveable, I changed out the fuel pump relay and the problem went away.
