CEL on my stang, help please.
Well, all I have done to my car is flowmaster 40's.
Occasionally when starting my car it would die if I didnt hit the gas, mainly when its cold outside.
But this morning, It had gotten pretty dang cold the day and night before and as I went to start my car to go to the store it wouldnt really idle and kept dying and running kinda crappy. Then on my way home, my CEL (check engine light) came on and it starts running even worse. What could be the problem and is it related to the cold weather? As I'm pretty sure it is. Thanks for the help in advance.

Not all Advance Auto Parts stores scan.
It's not related to the cold weather, your car should not stall out under any weather conditions.
Typical reasons for stalling are from the IAC, putting your foot in the gas usually prevents the car from stalling out like you said, sure sounds like an IAC failure to me, although they don't always trip codes....
Anyways, have your car scanned and consider replacing the IAC, it's cheap to replace.
What year is your car?
