The past few days have been on the cooler side back to 50-60 degrees again. Now the dodge has a hard start, it starts but can hardly stay running for the first 5 seconds then it clears up but the rough idle came back. I have to turn it over about 10 times and revv it before I can hold a steady idle to drive without it dieing. But it initially starts fine. This only does it in the cold, two weeks ago in the 60+s it was fine, but now that its 30 in the mornings its really rough, when the engine is warm it starts great. I'm wondering if the weather has anything to do with it. It might just need a tune Anyone else ever had the same problem?

I put a new ignition coil on this morning and no fix.

 

clean your iac.. be careful not to depress the plunger thing while it's apart..

matter of fact, clean your entire TB thoroughly.. but your issue sounds like a gummed up idle air control- which is on the back of your throttle body..

 

^I agree.
Even if it's not, you should do it anyway.

 

Another thread on top of this one?

 

The more the merrier, right?

 

Yup. No I thought this as a different topic and wasn't sure if it was related. Sorry.

But the response about the IAC, I have cleaned it and the TB thoroughly, the plunger did get slightly pushed at a point BC I didn't know, so I might go pick up a new one and try it out, any thoughts on brands or price

 

BW mine was $37.?? From Oreilly

 

Just to let you know, throwing parts at the truck will only make you broke, and may not even fix your problem.

 

I got one from the dealer, around 90 bucks. 30 isn't that cold. Have you checked fuel pressure?
