Ok so my car has been dying on me if I try to drive it right after I start it up. I'm not sure if it does it if I let it warm up first because usually I gotta leave in a hurry, and gas prices are too high to waste any by letting it idle for 10 minutes. Any ideas on what might cause this? Weather change? or anything?
