Cold weather Starting problem 2001 escape

Recommended Posts

2001 escape 3.0. Hard to start when outside temperature is below 30 degrees. Rarely it won't start and just drains the battery, Most times it will start after 2-3 tries in these low temperatures.

outdoor temperatures above 30 degrees or so it always starts. Never stalls at any temperature.

64,000 miles , new plugs coils, air filter , injectors cleaned, fuel filter and Battery... 1500 miles/ 1.5 years ago. Just started doing this this winter. Last year with all the new parts it always started right away.

Seems to me to be a firing or fuel issue. My best guess so far is that the fuel pump might not be holding pressure to the injectors ?

Any ideas appreciated

Battery doesn't have the cold cranking amps to get started below freezing. Go to Auto Zone and have them check your battery with a meter. If it fails the test during cold weather, they may recommend getting a new battery.
