My car stalls when cold, but then runs fine when warmed up....

Everytime when I turn on my car I have to press the pedal down for it to stay alive, once the car is warm this is about 20 minutes after you drive it around, it idles okay, but hesitates. What's wrong with it?

If the plugs are fine you should check also check the coolant temp sensor. Also if ur car use cold start injector, you should ckeck it to. Its is happening to me to, but since I'm going stanalone I dont care much.

Did you figure it Out? Because I have the Same Problem

Both of the gen3's I've owned did this. What I started to do was turn the key to the "On" position for a few seconds, perhaps 3-4. My understanding is that it helps prime the system better..?
After that, crank it up!

Now that I think of it, I haven't had this problem in a very long time.
