My wifes car lately has been idling extemely low and dying out when started in cold temperatures(Below 30F). Once you give it gas for a little bit and keep the RPMs up, it runs fine the rest of the day. And if its warm outside, it starts perfectly fine and runs good. No check engine light, and no codes come up when scanned. Any ideas?

Hello sdbouq00:

I have the same make and model you are inquiring about and I'm having the same problem you are with the engine. I got the fuel injectors cleaned, I replaced the Idle air control valve thinking that this might help and it hasn't. If you've resolved this problem with your car, it would be very helpful to me if you tell me. I'm going to try and clean the Throttle Body & Air-intake with a spray cleaner to see if this might help. I'll let you know if this works for me.

Thanks
