    could be ignition, fuel pump, or battery/alternator/electrical related. spark plugs could be bad, fuel lines could have froze

    How much gas is there in it. Do not let it go below half a tank at that temperature. Try gas line antifreeze. Dealer warned me against boosting the car, could screw up the computer. Take out the battery and charge it instead.
