Most chemical reactions are slowed by cold temperatures, so the battery puts out less amps. If it's not very healthy, it might not have enough output to turn the engine over. Also thicker oil makes...

For those of you who don't know, a 2.5 - 3db increase represents twice the sound energy. So like you have one violin or speaker playing and another starts playing at the same loudness.

probably a sticking piston in the caliper

But shouldn't really happen on a car this new because it is usually due to corrosion in the piston.

I know nothing about flashes, but does it have to be reflashed after losing battery power for X amount of time?

Sounds like the mixture is way off, like the CEU is giving way too little fuel.
