    ok well....so since i got this car i have had a problem with it starting. It didnt seem like a big deal at first but now it does it more and more. when i got it it was about may so it had nothing to do with the coldness outside. but now it is winter so maybe thats the probrom now but it happens maybe once every 2 or 3 weeks. has anyone else experienced this problem?

    I've had it happen but it's very random sometimes a couple times a week and then it won't happen for about a month. Today -20 celcius in Edmonton and the car started like a charm. :D

    DANG! Negative temps??? I'm in Texas. If it drops below 50 we're scared to leave the house...lol...

    As far as the starting thing, I read somewhere that additional keys close to the key for the car sometimes cause interference with starting because there is some kind of chip in the key. Now this, as of now, is only a rumor because I'm not sure where I got that info from. Either here or Project Lancer...but this site is A LOT more indepth so maybe here somewhere
