Its just now starting to get cold here and seems like when it is cold it is harder to start... Does this happend to anyone else..? It starts with no problem normally but maybe everyonce in a while it will die right after it starts... or the RPM's will go way down and i have to give it gas... The car is almost 8 years old... but i was just wondering?

 

sounds like an ignition problem, check your plugs and wires

 

Try that, or switch your car to the "on" position for a few seconds, and then start it up.

 

@ Ignition problem. my dads car has the same thing and i hate it. every time i start it, the car starts shaking more than normal and dies. always have to hit the gas to get it to start

 

my car is starting to do the same thing..when i first crank it, even when its hot, it'll start rough idleing. It hasnt died yet but u usually have to give it a lil gas to keep the rpms up...I'm think i'ma put some deep treament of some brand in the engine when i change the oil in a week or so...Anyone know a good treament to use..slick 50, seafoam, etc....

 

What type of oil are you guys using? Run any injector cleaner/seafoam lately? I think if you use gas treatment it might help with the startups.

 

Synthetic oil castrol. i just puttwo injector cleaners last week and it helped a lil bit but when its freezin i have to stompthe gasso i can start it.
My mustang dont have that problem, even if its cold it starts normal. but my volkswagen passat 95 does that
