My 2001 Sportage doesn't want to start when the temp gets down to 45 degrees. It starts fine when the temp warms up. Can anyone tell me what to check?

The Idle Air COntrol valve is a known issue. Remove and clean with fuel or carb cleaner. At least this is an inexpensive way to begin investigation.

Thanks for the reply. :) I have cleaned the contacts and will now see if that works.:confused:
