fiber_tek Posted January 31, 2011 Share Posted January 31, 2011 This morning I took the kids to school and it was about 12 below zero this morning. The car started fine and warmed up fine but as soon as I started driving it would cut out like the fuel was being cut off. It got worse and worse as it was getting warmer. On accident I found that by opening one of the windows would make it stop and it would run fine, as soon as I would put the window up it would cut out. Eventually it cleared up and ran fine the rest of the morning. I wonder if the IAC would have anything to do with this, but how would the window being up or down change anything????

I Donated broknindarkagain Posted February 2, 2011 I Donated Share Posted February 2, 2011 Kind of weird.... Was your engine at normal operating temp while you were moving? Mine has a tendancy to bogg down and run VERY cool when I'm moving. As well....I would like to ask you WHY are you rolling down your windows when its -12 degrees outside? lol -broknindarkagain My Current Project - Click Here COME AND TAKE IT "The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing."

fiber_tek Posted February 2, 2011 Author Share Posted February 2, 2011 Did the same thing this morning but it didn't matter if the windows were up or down. I thought that was kind of weird! I cracked the window at -12 because I was hauling 2 boys to school and when you get 3 males in the same car, somebody is going to fart! LOL! And my boys are well practiced at stinking up a car! I think it may be the IAC valve. When it gets warmed up I think it isn't as sticky and everything works better. If I plug the car in at night it is WAY better on the cold mornings.
