    when the car is cold (it gets into the low 40's at night) and i start er up it drops the rpms to low and almost sounds like its gonna stall out, if i turn it off and start it back up again it wont do it the second time, just wondering if any1 knows what this could be:thanks:

    Don't think I've had the chance to start mine in 40 degree weather. I know when I start it and the first time I take off in drive, it wants to have a slight stumble before going. It only does it the one time, and it's done this for as far back as I can remember.
    I'd like to see how much better it would run in that kind of cool weather.

    When I first got mine it did this, but temp didn't have anything to do with it. Just the first time starting it. Turned out to be the fuel pump wasn't maintaining pressure and cause these symtoms. Once it built up enough pressure, ran fine. Replaced under warranty and all good since then.

    If Makes you feel any better I have two messed up piston rings and when I start my car white smoke pours out of the back of my car.
