What is your question?
Hello everyone and thanks for your time. For a couple years now I've been having issues keeping my car running if its colder than say 30ish. If its down in the teens like it has been lately I have to keep it at around 2000rpm to keep it from dying. Holding my foot on the gas the whole time I drive even when I hit a light. Within bout 10 min of driving it runs great. All summer it runs great as well. I might add it always starts right up cold unhappy or not but when its cold it struggles to stay running. Any points I can go after? Hopefuly a cheap and easy fix but sometimes I'm not that lucky... Have a good one amd thanks again

It sounds like you're having an issue with the idle air control motor. All the symptoms match up with that kind of an issue. Sometimes it happens simply because there is carbon built up on the valve and it needs to be cleaned. Other times the valve needs to be replaced. Either way, it is also possible that there is an idle re-learn procedure that may need to be done to enable the car to idle correctly. Good luck. ;-)
