Startup Problem and another misc prob
Ok so recently ive been having a bit of a problem. Well not really a problem, I just want to know if this is a sign to a bigger problem.
Here in Idaho, its gotten cold. And were expecting snow tonight and all through the weekend. Time to store the Mustang. Anyway since its gotten colder my GT has been having troubles starting. Like it will turn over just fine like always, but it almost dies right after it starts. Like it goes to like 100 RPM (no not one thousand one hundred) and tries to die for like a second or two then jumps up to the warmup idle (1250 or so) for a couple seconds before going down to 1000. Its just been happening since it started getting colder, and im thinking it might just be the cold, but I thought I would see what you all thought anyway.
Also ive noticed a slight buzz just today and last night whenever I go over a bump in the road that jars the car a little bit. Its really annoying. And tonight when I shut off my car after filling it full of gas the buzz was there while the gas needle went down (you know how all the needles go down after you shut off your car) and then the buzz slowed as it got almost to the bottom of the gauge and the buzz stopped when the needle stopped. I almost lol'd for some reason even though it isnt very comical. Any ideas at all? Thanks!

*Sigh*. I was really hoping to avoid that. LT's + CAI + Tune = NO WARRANTY FOR YOU!! I know the guys though so maybe they will be lenient with me.
Its at like 2800 on the odo. Almost time for the first service, but its just going to be parked all winter. Should I wait till next summer or take it in now?
