Ok so i've got a 98 mustang, and when it gets cold it doesn't want to start or do anything, turning over is sluggish, driving is sluggish and its just slow. also if i leave it outside and its a cold night it won't start at all not even trys, so i guess the question is does anybody else have this problem or is something wrong? i put a brand new battery in it last year when it started doin this so im not sure if that had anything to do with it?

Measure the battery voltage. Post. Repeat while cranking. Post.
