Default 1993 altima doesnt like cold weather

my 93 altima just started to refuse to start when the outside temperature gets into the low 20's around 30 it fires right up is there a cold start sensor or something like that?
thanks for any input

From a technical standpoint, the car treats all cold starts the same, adjusting the fuel mixture and timing based on the exact temperature.

Does your car engine turn over, but not start?

A more likely scenario would be that any moisture in the fuel could cause issues. I would start with some fuel treatment of some sort.

Sure you don't have a crack in the distributor cap or other issue letting in moisture and debris into the distributor? I know that oil fouling of distributors is common on those first generation Altimas (from what I've read here).

Next time you're in that situation, see if you have spark. Or take the cap off and see if there is moisture in the distributor (or oil fouling). That might clue you in as to what the issue is...
