car won't start at 8am, but will around 10am???
ok, here it is, i just replaced the starter, alternator, plugs & wires, and battery with the past few weeks. now, my car won't start early in the morning when it's just a little chilly out, but will with no problem when the sun comes up around 10am. i also have a remote starter, and it won't start that way either in the morning. i mean it doesn't even crank. nothing happens at all. i tightened the cables on the starter an on the battery, but don't know what else to do? is the starter bad maybe? any help would be greatly appriciated.

If it doesn't even crank then you have to start from there. When the vats are malfunctioning it doesn't crank. Uhhh, there might be moisture around the solenoid that creates a short or electrical problem to the starter. Uhhh, can't think of anything else right now.

Well on Saturday mornings I won't get up before 10:00 am either
Seriously it's got t be a moisture problem of somekind, is there a big change in overnight temps that would cause the condensation in something electrical?
As you already know these little problems can be as simple as a loose conection or all the way to a bad ECM.

Maybe if you tuck your car in 2 hours earlier at night, it'll wake up at 8:00AM.
