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.

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.

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?

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.
