Default Cold Start Problem

When I start the car after sitting all night the engine doesn't go into high idle, this morning it started and died, I re-started it and revved it up a little and then it was okay. It has done this several times but today is the first time it died. Anyone have an idea what it might be, no cell lights.

Interesting. I have pretty much the same set-up as you and I have not seen this problem. Have you checked with Brent?

I had the Paxton for just over a year, this problem just started about two weeks ago.

Ya, almost a year for me as well. I would give Brent a call to see if they've seen it before. Hopefully they will be able to tell you something. Very curious to see what you find out and hope that you get it resolved.

Have you pulled the IAC and tried to clean it?

I bumped the rpm neutral setting up before I started it today, started it up andran perfect. I'm going to try this for a couple of days and see what happens. I don't know why it would change, I added new acell cop's a few weeks back maybe this did something, the car runs perfect other then the cold start problem.
