I agree but make your fuel system is running clean and what weight oil are you using.

Its seems your battery might be to old then. You can bring them to most parts stores and have them test it for free to tell you if your battery is bad or not

next question...
what make/brand of battery?
If its a Wal Mart "NEVERstart", then you've found your problem...otherwise, I'd still tend to lean towards the battery, unless theres something thats draining the battery in that amount of time. I'd take it by somewhere and have them do a load test on it just to be sure. For a new battery I'd suggest either an Interstate or an Optima. They're a little more expensive, but how much is it worth to you if your car is dead in the cold???

i agree with stroker, if it is the battery, i highly reccomend Interstate. my MT-78 is 4 years old, has been run dead 3 times (twice from having the stereo cranked while tailgating, and once when my alternator went), and takes a beating everyday from my stereo and it still starts the car everyday, even this morning when it was 9 degrees. if you can fit a bigger battery in there, the number is MT-78, if not, you will need an MT-75.

Exactly what I found out the hard way! I bought one for my old car at Meijer last year, and it lasted about a week.
p.s. If you don’t live in the Michigan, Ohio, Indiana, Illinois area...Meijer is our version of Wal Mart

Cept Wal-Mart usually doesn't sell groceries....unless it's one of those super wal-marts or whatever the hell you call em....

Well they are selling groceries around here, all of the new wal-marts moving in start out as normal ones, and then go to super centers. Then it really takes away from Meijer, and that's why I might not have a job this time next year
