I have a 1995 GT with the mods listed in my sig. This problem has only occured when it's cold out, i live in washington state, so when the temp is from 30-50's my car is unhappy. I turn it on, and i have to have all accessories off, warmer, stereo, even tho my battery guage reads fine, if i don't let it sit for atleast 45 seconds idling it just craps on me. If i try to put it in gear and start maneuvering out of my driveway before the 45 second grace period, when i have to change from 1st to reverse, the second i stop the car to do this, and im not accelerating the car dies, and then i have to just rev the thing, and keep the gas up while maneuvuring out of tight spaces. It's a big pain in the ass and then sometimes it will die if im idling at a stoplight. My question is, why if i don't let it sit for 45 seconds to 1 minute will it crap out on me the after i put it in gear and then once i take it back out and im not giving it gas. I think 45 seconds is a long time to wait aswell. Now the idle is like this, i turn it on and it idles fine for a little while, then it starts to get low, and then a sudden surge up to bout 1200 rpm, then back down to 600 etc, slowly this evens out and the surges decrease in length and it idles at about 700, which seems low. It's a huge pain in the ass trying to get out of my driveway, when i have to make tight maneuvers but i also have to be flooring it to keep the car alive.
If anybody can help me with this it'd be greatly appreciated. Merry Christmas!
