Gas is at about 3/4 of a tank. and it's about 6 C today. (43 F)
So it's not that cold today at all. It's not a freezing issue.

Update,
Car will now try to catch. It's getting fuel.
It's Ignition system related, so I'll be calling a Different shop than last time tomorrow.
I'll let you know what the actual issue is when I get it back this time.

Maybe not enough fuel to run. Wasn't the pump suspect? |

Fuel Pump Assembly.....$299.99
Fuel Filter...................... $10.99
Strapping...................... $53.99
Exhaust Repairs............. $12.96
Labour.......................... $115.00
Subtotal 492.93
Tax 64.08
So, I'm out 557.01, and it happened to be the fuel pump.
The exhaust repairs are my favorite though, I can't even hear my car anymore.
What do you guys think of the costs?

Not a bad price from a shop though.

Yeah, I was sure it wasn't the pump, but he disagreed. I've used this guy for a few years and he's a pretty decent guy, so I just agreed.
He said the fuel filter was pretty blocked too.

That actually isn't that bad of a price for what you got.. The labor rate is good that's for sure.
