cold start

[jimbob]

My 99 will stall out when starting when it is real cold out. When it is around or just below freezing the idle drops right after I turn the key but kicks back up to normal. When it gets much colder than that it will stall after the key is turned back. Then I have to use the gas pedal to get it going. Any ideas?


Thanks, Jim

Mine will occasionally do the same thing when it's very cold out, but only when I use the remote start. It has never done it when I use the key. I'm thinking that it's a sticky IAC motor, but until it starts really acting up, I'm not going to bother replacing it.

Idle Air Control It just bleeds air in to the throttle body to regulate the idle.
