97 Bonneville won't start
Got a 97 that when its cold weather it just won't start. warm weather it cranks right up.
It'* not the battery,motor turns over just fine,only thing i have put on the car is a crank sensor back during the summer?could i possibly have bent 1 of the tabs behind the harmonic balancer>???any ideas?

I also think checking the coils should be at the top of the list. Here'* a how-to article.

How old are the plugs & wires?

plugs are new..wires look ok?will be putting new 1'* on,also note that when it finally does crank,after turning the motor over and over many times,it finally starts but at a rough idle,then all of a sudden it just clears right up....if it was the coil why only when its cold./
