    engine runs rough when starting up in cold weather

    well, i'm still having that stupid startup problem. it seems that when it's really cold outside, that my car runs rough when it starts up. it shakes alot and kinda makes a whirl noise when you hit the gas. it feels like it's running on 3 cylinders. it will do this for about 3 mins and then it'll run fine...i don't understand

    check your cold start injector...... it's the injector in the middle of the intake manifold (facing you when you open the hood) and it's wired to the coolant temp sensor (brown top, i believe.... black wire and a green wire).... in any case, if either of those aren't working you can have problems with the car when it is first running
