When its cold (sub 50) out the car starts fine. a few seconds later (assuming when it starts to read the sensors) it starts to cut out and run like crap. the service engine light and the small temp idiot light will both "flicker" on and off. it acts almost like the ignition is getting turned off and on, and theres a very strong gas smell. Going down the road it will hesitate and buck and act like it has a strong miss. Once its warmed up i can shut it off and turn it back on and itll be ok for the rest of the day or until it gets really cold again. it did this at the end of last winter, but not during the hot summer months.
So far Ive replaced the maf, the crank sensor, the two wire temp sensor and cleaned out the egr. if i unplug the o2 sensor and put it into the service mode it runs just fine. Im open to suggestions here!!! Im going to go out and try to pull the codes in a few min, ill advise what i find.
Please save me and my bonnie! if i cant get it fixed in going to invest in a gallon of gas and a book of matches!!
