Okay so, I have an 08 Diesel - when I bought her and took her to the mechanic, he said my fuel rail pressure is dropping and they and that he can't get the part. His solution was to constantly have to plugged in. Now I live in Canada so it does get cold. She has had 0 issues starting up if she has been plugged in.
A few weeks ago, I didn't have her plugged in and of course she didn't turn over. All of my lights came on, etc so I know it isn't the battery. I plugged her in for a good 6 hours and by that time it was +8 outside and still would not turn over. I ended up getting her jumped and she started.
Two days ago, same thing happened where I did not plug her in and she didn't turn over. Except this time, she was plugged in now for almost 20 hours and was jumped twice with no success. I decided to try the Quick Start spray and she fired right up.
Any thoughts on what the heck is actually going on??
