Will not cold start

[dsmDolney]

So i went to start my car monday morning. Didnt even want to turn over battery was so dead. So it sat for a few days then wednesday i put a different battery in and it just turns and turns over and will not start. Never had any issues with this car until now. Any ideas. I tried mostly everything i read online that it could be. Battery is mostly dead so i need to jump it to make the car turn over. Could it just be a bad battery thats making it not start ? Imput would be cool considering i need a car to get to work. Thanks guys

Battery most definitely. I've known a guy that sold off his car because he couldn't get it to run just because the battery didn't have enough juice and he was lazy. He paid $600 for a complete and mint 2ga TSi AWD. Just had some idiot owner who took the hood, fenders and bumper off then let it sit.

Don't over think it!

I would look at your coolant temp sensor.

[dsmDolney]

I am currently looking into that also thanks

Bought a new battery. Cranked and cranked finally started rough. Ran fine after about a 20 minute warm up drove it to get gas and threw a check engine light. Started back up when it was warm but sat over night and didnt start in the morning . looked at it today coolant temp switch wires are out of the plug. Would that make a non start issue. Any other reasons why it wouldnt start. Domt have a laptop to plug into to check the code

coolant temp sensor will make hard no start problems

Definitely get the coolant temp sensor hooked up, that will cause problems.

Its the switch not the sensor tho. The guy who had the car before messed up the harness bad. Idiot

Mark had the same problem this week with his 95 and I told him to get a new temp sensor and it fixed the problem. His was reading 316 on link.
