Living in Canada, it's becoming a bit colder day by day. I've noticed my wife's 95 GTS has a hard time achieving proper idle in the morning and dies. Usually I go out to warm up the car(remote starter still not finished,lol) in the morning. I turn the key, it turns over, the rpms reach about 500 and it dies fairly quick. The only way to get it going is by starting it quickly and holding the gas pedal for about a minute, rev it at about 1000rpm to get it to a proper temperature. What could it be? Fuel filter? The car has 124000km on it. She also claims it shut off on the highway and then picked up again. Don't know about that.
Just to add, there might be an exhaust leak, but I don't think that's it, but the car sure is loud. Are these cars loud by nature? Not even my Alltrac sounds like that with no cats. Any help would be appreciated Lor |

i have the same problem having gotten around to fixing it cause all i do is rev the car as soon as i start it to around 4k and then she holds just fine and warms up really quick.. .. but yea it might be the fuel fliter..or one of the sensores... i really should go check that out soon ...
