Well, here in San Antonio it does not get very cold even in the winter. Well, yesterday it dropped into the thirties and I went to start my 1997 GXE and it started, and then died after it idled for a second or two. But if I tap the gas and hold it at about 1500 RPM for a second or two after I start it, it stays running and is perfectly fine from there on. Once the car is warmed up, it starts back-up fine. I just replaced the battery a month ago so I know it's not that and I did a full tune-up ( plugs,fuel filter,air filter, pcv valve, etc.). I also did some work on my fast idle cam because it was out of adjustment (it would surge when I was at a stop with the A/C on and my foot on the break) but after I adjusted it the problem went away. I'm almost certain that it is something in the Idle air control system but I thought I'd pick your brains a little. Could the IAC valve be sticking or something and when I tap the gas I'm un sticking it? Are there any known issues with this? I don't think it a fuel problem or ignition problem because in runs like a champ when it's warmed up and I did not have a problem until it got below 40 degrees. Any input would be greatly appreciated. When I let the car cool back down and then try and start it again, it does teh same thing.
