when its below freezing, the rpm's wont exceed 2k till warmed up, why is that?

When was the last time you had the plugs and wires changed?

maybe gunk in the fuel filter? when its colder you won't get as much fuel flow if its clogging and gelling up with the cold.

Gas doesn't gel like diesel.

so if i change the spark plugs and wires and run some gas filter cleaner **** through it it should start running fine?

we should hope so it does try that and go from there.

mabye im off topic, but has your fuel ine ever froze cause of it being low on gas?

I was thinking that maybe our cars adjust the amount of fuel that is fed because of low oil pressure? low oil pressure from cold oil.

How cold are we talking?

i would assume its in the 0 or below that maybe below the 10's.

i didn't mean the gas its self, i ment the contaminents that would get caught up in the filter, or did you know thats what i ment. and -10 isn't out of the question for WA

replace the plugs, wires, maybe coil, fuel treatment helped mine in the winter but u still gotta let it warm up, u can do sum serious damage as i did it in my moms saturn lol.

well, im talking just below freezing. i am gonna try running some fuel filter cleaning **** through it, and change plugs and wires.

yea i live in ct so it gets pretty cold here also

i fixed it, but i dont know if its a permanant fix. all i did was reset the computer by disconnecting the posotive cable from the battery. i think it might be the airflow sensor. whats your opinion?

WTF?

ok, well i think i know what it is. i found a sensor that the wires are torn out of. its on the bottom of the block near the alternator. also, when this problem occurs, it wont let me rev past 2 grand, and the check engine light is on. to fix it, for a short period of time, after it warms up, i have to disconnect the posotive and reboot the computer, then it starts to work fine, till a couple of days later.

??????????? :right:
