Default 89 944 n/a will not start when cold outside

I've got spark and fuel but unless it's at least 70`f outside it will not start! anyone know what could possibly be causing this?

It might help diagnose the problem if you give more information. What exactly happens when you try to crank it while it's cold out? Does it turn over? Fire? Make weird noises?
