When it's cold, it's really hard to start my car engine.....

When I turn the key to the "Start" position, I hear a clicking noise then nothing.(I have to try 5,10. 20 times to get it started).

Why I didn't hear the noises that starter usually makes ?


The only thing I'm sure is the battery  and charging system is fine. (The head lights is very bright). Does changing spark plug will solve the problem ?

Your starter or flywheel may have problem, to be accurate, more like the small gears of starter cannot engage into flywheel. Either the gears from starter or flywheel or the solenoid of starter cannot quickly push small gears under flywheel.

You can go to CandadianTire and ask them to check ($40). They will check the flywheel gears under transmission cover. If it's ok, they will suggest you to change starter($$$). Now, you just refuse and come back to find an used($20~50) one, and install it yourself. Installation only needs 30 min.
