i hope im not beating the dead horse..
since last winter, i have had a little idle prob in the cold. the engine will be running normal at idle, suddenly it will cut out for a half second, CEL blinks on, then return to the normal, slightly lumpy idle.
yesterday morning i started my car, went in for about 10 min, and when i came out, the engine had died. it started and drove fine to work, but on the way home it did the cut out thing a few times. at a stop its annoying but taking off in 1st gear at low rpm i almost hit the windshield when it does this.
plugs, fuel filter are <6 months old. i know i can start throwing money at it, cap and rotor, wires, etc, but is there some thing to check/clean..1st? planning on soaking the ICV in carb cleaner tonight..
