I noticed this is happening...On a cold start, i warm it up and it drives ok, but ALWAYS, even if i just stopped the car for like 10 minutes, if i drive right away, in IDLE its fine, smooth, but the minuter i step on the GAS, it sounds like the car is choking...and power and RPM drops to like 400RPM insteal of the idle 800. EVEN with GAS, the harder i press the more i chokes?? After i idle REV...a few times, it goes normal....One it does this does not happen again...It drive smooth and tons of power and does not have that problem even after a long idle in traffic...

BUT everytine at starup it will ALWAYS have this problem. Is the throotl boddy sticking? or not getting enought GAS (pump??) Help.

I couldn't tell you, but I will say that my Pacifica hates cold days herself but has never let me down as far as getting to point B goes. Daytonas no like cold...but I'd definately take it anyday there is snow instead of the Jeep or Firebird.

Mine loved the cold. In fact it would overboost if it was really cold and peg the boost gauge.

I would check it for any codes first, then go from there.

Here's what they are:
12- battery has been disconnected within the past 100 key on/offs
21- O2 sensor signal error
31- canister purge solenoid circuit
41- alternator field control circuit

Thanks, i am gonna take it to a mechanic to have them look at it. I wonder ow much it will cost to fix? I got new NGK O2 sensor already to be installed, but now i wonder what they will fis with the purge solenoid and alternator? I have-lenty of power so i think the alternator should be working...not dip in current and no problme with batterry recharge??

Yeah, some things aren't really anything to worry about, like code 12. I have checked a Neon before that ran pretty much just fine and it threw out about 9-12 different codes, I couldn't believe that it was even running.
