Car didn't start this morning, but did this afternoon

Temp was around 50

Does anyone know if there is a choke or some sensor that would prevent the car from starting in cooler weather if it were faulty?

Woah 50 is cold weather? If it hits 50 here i'm gonna take the sunroof off and cruise around in a t-shirt!


Just messing. I was having problems starting mine the other week..but the temps were around 0-10 degrees.

There are sensors that would prevent it from starting if it gets cold, but your best bet would be to check the check engine codes. No light doesn't necessarily mean no engine codes. Also, since it is a new car to you, you may want to do a complete tune up no matter what the previos owner did. This would include a oil change, spark plugs (stay away from platnium) spark plug wires, PCV, fuel filter, air filter, check timing, reset the TPS to 0.95 volts and clean the IAC and perform the idle reset procedure.
