maybe its your ignition coil! check to see the condition of the sparkplugs, wires and ignition coil. I assume you already checked the starter motor (they hessitate before the burn out most of the time).

Re: Engine struggling to startup
Its your battery. If it is giving you a hard time on cold mornigs you either need more CCA's(cold cranking amps) or the battery is just weak.

Re: Engine struggling to startup
Battery is the first thing, the second thing to check would be your oil...if you're running the specified 20W-50 oil in that cold of weather, you'll have start up issues because the oil is so thick, change to 10W-30 for winter, and change back come spring. If you don't know what that means print this out, go to you're local auto store, give it to them, and say I want some of those. lol
