Thread: 98 GTP Trouble starting while cold

Im having a trouble starting my car in the morning. Sometimes it wil start then die. Then when i try it again it wont start unless i give it gas but then it will die unless i keep giving it gas. After about 5-10 of warming up everything is fine just idles low.

bad fuel pump? maybe. you could need a better battery?

ok but i dont think its the fuel pump because after its been driven for about 30 mins its ok an starts right up and has full power when i floor it.
my only problem is starting it while it cold it will die or wont start unless i give it gas
but when i release off the gas it dies. I have to keep my foot on the gas to warm it up or else it will die.
When its warm some times it wont start but when i give it gas it wont die after that it will idle just fine.

After driving it today for about an hour, if i park it and let it sit for about 15 minutes it sometimes will idles low like around 600 but then it will go away after a few minutes and idle normal. Could it be an injector?

If its the MAF sensor why does it not start cold unless i give it gas and i have to
keep my foot an the gas or it will die. Even sometimes when its warm i have to give
it gas to start but i dont need to keep my foot on the gas like i do at cold starts.

Thanks SuperSport I think that was the problem. I cleaned up my idle control vavle and every since its been stating up every morning without me pressing on the gas for it to start an stay running on cold starts.

Thanks you guys
