2005 IS300, living near D.C.

Started fine yesterday and day before.

I get power to everything, lights, display, radio, all fine. The starter clearly works because I can hear the whirring sound, but the engine won't start.

I suppose there's a million things that could cause this - any culprit that could be related to 15 degrees all night?

Well, he called it vapor lock. Water in the gasoline, due to the extreme cold. He'd "seen it a hundred times this past week."

It finally started.
