Hey guys, Donno what happened this morning...it was quite cold, turned the ignition, the car started, but only ran for about half a second, then it died. i then tried again and it did this about 5 times. on the 6th attempt, i floored the accelerator pedal while turning the ignition and then it came alive, after about 20 seconds of spluttering...foot flat on the gas all this time, rpm only at about 600. After this initial 20 second period of extremely rough idling, she then ran fine. I then started the car again after about 5 miles, and no trouble at all.
This is the first time this has ever happened to me. She ALWAYS starts first time.
What could the problem be?
Update..It happened again at cold start..but it wasn't as bad, but then again, it wasn't as cold...
