Hello
Does your 99 have the orginal battery? It may be due for replacement. What are you calling "cold"? Where are you located? Does your engine turn over slower on this "cold" morning? What do you have to do to get it to start? Do you hear the engine firing? (ie...tryig to start?)
How many miles on your 99? What condtion are the sparkplugs? If the plugs have 100,000 on them and the battery is old, there is a problem right there. Warn plugs = more current to produce spark.....Old battery = less current to the ignition system to produce spark.....a cold engine= stiffer engine requiring more current for the starter to turn the engine over.
