My coupe runs terrible when cold.

SpecialBuild87 · 01-03-2008, 11:18 PM

Just recently when i start my car up it runs like crap for about two minutes before it warms up. It'll idle like crap and if you even think about touching the throttle it will almost die. it goes away after a minute or two. Does anyone know what the problem could be?

Thanks,
Luke

Coolant temp sender maybe..?

Failing towards fooling the ECU into thinking the motor is already warm.

Try a earch for something I've posted about that before..

It's one of those things that seem to always be failing, and can casue great problems.

Thing is, it's really *easy* to diagnose (if you search, it's been mentioned *many* times. By me at least a fiew times..), and takes only a few minutes to replace.
