What to do when a cold engine is hard to
start
by Jakob Jelling
Starting a car with a cold engine can be very difficult
sometimes and it can become a real obstacle for those
who live surrounded by extremely cold weathers. This
way, for all those who might experience this problem it
is not only important to learn how to overcome it but
also why it happens in order to be able to prevent it as
much as possible as well.
Cold engines might experience problems at the time to
start due to different reasons. One of these reasons can
be based on the effect which cold has on liquids
evaporation. When it is cold, gasoline evaporates less
and this cause it to be more difficult to burn due to
the fact that it is burnt when it is evaporated.
Another reason by which a cold engine might have
problems to start is caused by the fact that oil becomes
much thicker in cold than the way it is in hot. Oil,
like any other liquid changes its consistency when it is
exposed to very low temperatures as well as it changes
back when it is in a very hot weather, and this might
cause oil to have problems at the time of circulating in
the car engine.
Besides the engine, car batteries might experience
problems while being in cold weathers as well and this
could affect the engine. Batteries function through
chemical reactions which loose agility while being cold
and therefore, in such circumstances, batteries don't
function properly. When this happens, the car energy
becomes affected and this causes problems for the engine
start.
If these three problems happen together, starting an
engine might become a really hard task to achieve. In
order to overcome the lack of gasoline evaporation
problem, you can spray ether into the engine which would
evaporate quickly and help the engine start. Besides
this, you can also to prevent having oil too thick which
wouldn't circulate properly by using thin synthetic
oils. You should also try to maintain the car isolated
from cold as much as possible, but by using the two last
mentioned methods you would experience much less
problems at the time of staring the car in cold weather.
