    did it start when it wanted? And what did you do to fix it? run a whole new positive battery cable?

    yes, there's a good possibility that could be the problem, but that's an expensive line to replace if it's in your trunk and not definetly the prob, if it was under the hood that's a different story $8 part make sure your connections are good

    Could be the starter solenoid sticking because of the cold weather. My old LT-1 did the same thing and it would start at random like yours is doing.
