Cold Days and Hard Starting
So we all hate winter by now I am sure, and those cold days that it is bringing us. Anyone else's honda's start hard when it is cold out? The battery in my car is still good, but damn, it scares me when i crank it over sometimes.

Yup, I've had problems...aside from my oil not doing its job on the lifters on cold starts, I have a battery that's a little weak...I must get a new one! [IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-tongue.gif[/IMG] I gotta switch the oil too, because that metal on metal noise is not a pleasant one...

Mine sounds like that sometimes, but it only studders once or twice and then kicks over.

They're selling them at autozone now for 119 for the red top with trade in for your old battery for anyone looking around [IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-tongue.gif[/IMG]
