As soon as the temps drop to below 60F I have a hard time starting the car. In the summer no problem. In the winter it becomes very hard. The car will crank and crank to the point of killing the battery. Then it starts and is fine the rest of the day. Next morning its the same story. The fuel pump was tested last year and was ok, but the one thing that seems to help is if I cycle the ignition 3 times waiting for the fuel pump to finish each time. The car seems to start better after that. Could it be the fuel pump check valve? Maybe the fuel line is draining down overnight? Thanks.
