Celica won't start HELP PLEASE

[bsfarr]

Hello All - I'm hoping someone here can give me a few ideas. My 92 toyota celica st has sit for about 5 days - for the last 3 days the temp outside has been in the single digits. Went to go start today and it really cranks hard like it wants to start and almost did a few times but never did. I started wearing the battery down so I stopped any ideas?? It was running great when I parked it 5 days ago. PLEASE ANY HELP WOULD BE GREAT>>

all you can do is keep trying make sure you dont kill the battey, if you do have anything to get your engine bay warmed up that would be a good idea(make sure not to set it on fire tho) but the reason is that ur oil,rad.,fuel is just cold.

Its been into the upper 30's past couple of days how warm does it need to be? Also there is about 1/2 tank of gas in there is there anyway that could be frooze? Thanks so much for your help.

chances are it ***could*** be your cold start injector, its essentially a "Choke" if thats not functioning she will have a hard time starting, if you NEED your car running, try giving it a shot of ether, just dont overdo it. other then that not too sure, honestly it should start unless its actually frosen, hell i have started my 1992 civic when it was -35 degrees Celsius withought my block heater and it only had to crank two more times then normal.. and that thing has over 300,000 km's on it... so you should be able to get your celica started.

Good luck,
Largen.

Thank you ALL so much. It started today. Temp got to almost 40 degrees. I guess she was just to cold. Thank you for your help.
