Default Cold Weather

I've tried a few other things as well.... I removed my CAI to see bc I changed the filter lately if its the filter, it still died. I tried the battery test, that was fine.

I've notice this is only happens specifically in cold weather under 65 degrees. And it's usually the first time start up for the day. It runs beautiful every time after that.

Anyone else have any opinions?

There are 3 main things that incorporate this function.

1. Air Charge Sensor located on the intake manifold front just on the passenger side. (This registers the outside air temp and adjusts the timing and air flow to act like a choke)
2. Throttle Position Sensor. (TPS) is located on the Throttle Body and could be sending a bad or mixed signal.
3. IAC on the Throttle Body (tells the PCM how much air is flowing like a MAP sensor).

I would first try to do a really good clean up on the Throttle Body. Search this section for instructions on doing so. Other than that a Pump test like I said.
