Why does my 1999 Ford Falcon wagon not start?

Hi, I have a 1999 Ford Falcon Wagon – 4.0l 6 cyl. The guy at the spares shop told me when looking for parts for this car – search under AU, as it is the same engine. It has an intermittent starting problem. When the ambient weather is low (below 15 deg C or so – having been parked overnight) it does not start. The engine cranks – but doesn’t start.

What should I do if my Falcon starts intermittently?

Edit: If you borrow one it’ll need to be from another large car, ideally a falcon. Firstly it sound like your battery is too small for the car, or on the way out …. have it checked for size and condition, and replace if needed. My AU falcon will crank continuously at any temperature no worries.
