Default Car alarm frozen?

Okay, interesting problem that has driven me to be soooo close to burning my car out of anger. The car wont start in the ice cold weather and the alarm wont respond when i try to unlock/remote start my car. BUT later in the day when it gets warmer it starts fine. Does anyone know whats freezing up and not working???? Thanks ahead.

Dose the car crank over at all? Or is the ignition dead?

The freezing cold is hard on any car. One time it was 20 below and one of my co-workers kicked the tires on my car so the alarm would go off. It went off alright, fried the siren.

Go get some dry gas from autozone or something. I have been having the same problem with my car. The problem is any condensation in the fuel system is freezing up your lines and your not getting adequate fuel for combustion. Here is a link the the type of stuff im talking about. http://www.goldeagle.com/heet/index.htm

I picked it up at walmart for like 1.50 a bottle

Just continue to put a bottle of this in your tank like once every 2 fill-ups and you should be fine. This stuff will get rid of the condensation
