Serious Starting Problem....------>

Ive had a weird staring problem for a while now Every morning when i go to start up my car it stalls out. Now, i just changed my starter a lil less than a month ago so i know its not that causing the problem. It only happens in the early morning when the car has sat for 8-10hrs. But during the day it never happens, only when its ice cold. So what i would do is gas the car right after i turn the key to keep it running that way it wont stall out on me.

Could it be my Optima Deep Cycle Battery causing this?? or maybe a sensor?
Any help or advice is welcome

thanks,
Anthony

More than likely it's just your fuel system de-pressurizing after sitting overnight; very common. Try turning the key to the "on" position and then waiting 20-30 seconds for the the fuel pump to pressure up before you start the engine.

i had the same shyt on my old maxima. Same exact thing, i used to give it gas as well, never found a fix, wasn't something that bothered me as much as all the other more serious problems.
