Contour Enthusiasts Group Archives Forums Branches North Central Close to stalling when cold

Hey maybe you guys could help me out here, when the motor is cold, and the rpm's are below like 2500, the motor sputters and the car bucks a little, then when the revs get up to around 3K it jolts cause the throttle finally kicks in or something. Then when the needle on the temp guage gets in the "normal" range the problem stops. WTF??

The last winter when I had my Mystique GS, I had a problem when it was very cold, I would have to use the gas to start it, and rev-it until it warmed up enough to stay running on its own... never really found out what it was as I traded it the following summer for my SVT. I thought at the time perhaps it was something electrical, but that was just a guess.

After reading my message, I'm not sure this helps any.
