My 85 Honda CRX will not start in the cold it hardly even
turns over. I have done all battery and starter checks and it still doesn't start. Any one know what I should do?

Does it start when you get a jump start from somebody else?

Bet your battery is either going bad or has dirty terminals. Either that or
the starter cable has dirty connections or is loose or corroded.

Normally it could be the cold start sensor. Unplug this, it should
start right up. It's called `coolant temp sensor. `

Please post under same subject to avoid redundancy.
