to all gurus i was just wondering if you can help me to solve my problem with my 2003 impala.yesterday i replaced the baterry and the car started and i drove the car with my wife practically the whole day dec 23 .with the temperature dropped to - 22 in prince george b.c. overnight. today when iam going to use the the car it won't start. just wondering where is the problem,would it be the starter? thanks in advance and happy new year to all.

 

What does it do when "it won't start"? We need more to go on!!

What is the battery voltage? Check your terminals.

 

Exactly, we need more info. I once had a battery I picked up for my 1980 Chevy Pickup. A couple weeks later it was a new crank/start again. the new battery I had gotten at Sears had one bad cell in it. I remember waiting for what seemed like hours to get it replaced. When I asked what was taking so long, the newb said he was waiting for the ice to melt inside that 1 cell so he could measure the specific gravity in it with a hydrometer. When the manager heard this, he told him, just replace the battery!
