Since the temperature has become colder, my car is so hard to start.. what could be the cause? Bad wiring? starter?timing?

Or can you give me a hint on what could help it to start more easily?

thanks

Start with your battery. this is the #1 problem of hard cold starts. are the cables corroded? try these two they shoud fix the problem. some cars are just hard to start when its cold out.
