Wont start

[CamaroBelarus]

And u are right seems. Pulled out all sparks, cleaned them, then started engine. It started. I had to hold it on 2000-2500 rpm and it worked very bad, like have no power and check engine came on. Then i heard a strange sound, like smth went through a pipe and ta da... Check engine gone, engine working perfect, all strange messages, like "Service stability trak" is gone. Dunno what was frozen, but seems so. Now im fine. Thanks to all people, who answered.

Of course I was! I had no doubts! Just kidding man. What you described just sounded like fuel line freeze up. May want to runs some fuel line anti freeze when it gets that cold. Esp. if your car sits out. Fuel line freeze up is no joking matter. Can really leave you in a pickle!

Glad you got it going!

Problem is not going away:( Today is -6C only and it started. But i had to hold gas for 30 secs at least, or the car is dieing and i have to start it again. And "check engine" now is always on. Its driving good, no power loss or any bad sounds, but hard start and "check engine":( Have no idea, what to do. In our city there is no even chevy dealer to check the number of error:(

And seems because of check engine remote start stoped to work. Car just flashing with lights and nothing happens....

CCA is basically how fast you can crank your engine. With fuel injection, engines start rather easily so big CCA aren't that important. If you have an engine that is hard or stubborn to start in the cold then higher CCA won't help. The higher the CCA's go, the lower the reserve capacity is. Batteries are all the same size externally. With higher CCA there are more positive and negative plates, but they are skinnier. They will develop high amp flow, but not for long. With lower CCA batteries they have fewer plates but they are thicker. They put out less amps, but for longer time.

Thanks for the info
