I have started my car this morning (after sitting all night) and the car as soon as it started it has shut down. I started it again and it did the same thing. Then the third time I started it I reved the engine up to 5K RPM and let the gas pedal off and everything is okay. Now when the car is warmed up it turns just fine. Any suggestions?????

 

wow...dont ever do that again... its real bad for the motor... i would have tryed to prime it some more... then tryed it again....

 

DARIOD: I also live in Chgo and when I first bought my car from a previous owner, the first time it got cold out mine did the same thing. If you have a warm garage, pull off the air intake tube all the way to the throttle body and get a can of intake (not carburator) cleaner from Autozone and toothbrush and clean out your butterfly valve and throttle body opening. Make sure to use thick paper towels/rag to wipe the opening and plate. There are better write ups in this forum. Fixed the problem immediately.

Hope this helps and stay warm in Chi town.
