This morning was very cold. My '05 Civic coupe would just turn over, so I boosted it from another vehicle. It still wouldn't start. Every time I tried it today, (morning, noon and evening) I got the same result: it turns over, and seems to want to start, but won't. The odometer shows "Trip" and displays all "8"'s, and the speedometer needle)this car doesn't have a tach) vibrates against the stop until the key is turned off. Any idea what's going on?

. Remove and fully charge or replace the battery. Most auto parts stores will test and charge batteries for free. I do not advise jump starting modern-day vehicles. I've seen too many ECMs, alternators, and sensors destroyed by voltage spikes. It's particularly dangerous, when it's bitter cold outside. Hopefully, what is being displayed on the instrumentation panel is not a result of a voltage spike.
