When I first start driving my car in the morning and its cold the car wont accelerate if you give it more than a 1/4 throttle it feels like it wants to stall if you let off it accelerates fine.


any ideas?

Thanks

You've cleaned your throttle body, right? Or, you may check out this TSB

the rpm tach will just move between 1000rpm and 2000rpm and every now and then it will just die. but it cranks right up? in ideas? :confused:

Leo - Thats what mine was doing for a while. My mechanic thinks it was the coolant temp sensor (thats the error code the ecu gave him), he replaced it and I haven't had starting issues since then. Maybe something to look into ... I think it was error code 21.. check out:
