Long Cranks in Cold Weather

Long Cranks in Cold Weather
anyone else experiencing longer cranks in this cold weather? Its taking twice as long for the car to turn over. When i had this in my 335, it was the start of a failing fuel pump....

Batteries in extremely cold weather tend to crank out less power. That's a given fact. Do you have a battery maintainer? It's always a good idea to plug it in during really cold weather to help the battery maintain its charge during non-use. I don't think it's a fuel pump issue. If it were, you'd notice sporadic sputtering of the engine due to inconsistent fuel delivery.
Another thing to think about is this: Is your battery getting bad perhaps? I know mine had a factory defective battery when it was delivered to me. It quit working after just a few days. I found out that it wasn't holding enough amperage despite being run and recharged by the alternator. I replaced the battery and no slow crank starts since.

I agree about the fuel pump, as i experience that sporadic sputtering with my 335, however, it did start with long cranks.
Thanks for your help!

My guess is fuel pump. I've had mine in a cold start at -10 degrees and perfect start up with new fuel pump, even faster than the warm starts with my
Original non updated fuel pump.
Good luck.
