Hey guys. Ok so its 13 degrees out and my car won't start. Its cranking but it won't turn over. If I leave the fuel pump on for about 20 seconds before I try to start it, it sputters then continues to crank. Nothing sounds bad but I just can't get her to turn over! I have to drive the Celica all the way to Texas tomorrow! Anyone have any ideas?
