When I start my Celi after it has been cold for awhile (as short as 2 hours) it wont idle high enough to stay on! the rpm's just drop till it dies, I either have to give it gas to idle it, or rev it up and the self idle finally kicks on! I know reving a cold engine is terrible for any car! anything would help.

The exact thing happened to me. In a span of two months, my celi started then just died three times. I was due for my 60,000 so I did the regular maintenance (new plugs, topped fluids, flushed coolant, changed oil & filter . .. ). I told them about it and they couldn't figured it out. They did notice my battery was a four or five year old battery and may be near the end of its life. They say that was it and replaced it , but I don't believe them. The month after all that work done, my car did the same thing. I started it and it died two seconds later. I had to press the gas for twenty seconds, then it was fine.
It hasn't happened since, its been two months. If you find out what's causing this, let me know. |
