Hello everyone,
It seems that when it gets really cold my car seems to have a rough idle as compared to when it a little warm outside also i have noticed last night that every time i start the car it takes 2-3 tries before it starts to crank and then cranks very slowly this also seems to be the issue when its cold outside ?
thanks in advance
Have the battery load tested and test the alternator for proper charging voltage, about 14.5 volts at idle.
The first cold snap of the year always lets you know your battery is getting old.
@doc i tried to clean the throttle body with a throttle body cleaner to see if it changes anything and the problem still persists what do you suggest i do next ?

Update 1 i tried to clean the throttle body for the rough idling and that didn't seem to help much
Do a load test on your battery and alternator.
check the starter too
