98 max, cold start problem....

been going on for at least 2 years. when cold if will start right up then instantly die. after 2-3 tries it will start. or you can give it a little gas to keep rpms up and it will start fill like it wants to die then be ok.

once it's been run a few minutes it will be fine unless it sits for a couple hours. other than this the car runs perfect. plugs are new.

tks

ok guys.... get 2 dollars and go buy throttlebody cleaner. clean around the throttlebody, the butterfly and behind the butterfly. you will also notice better idle and quicker throttle response. same thing happened to me, didnt believe that a dirty tb was a problem
