Hi: Just bought a '96 Dakota Sport. When I first start it up (0 to 40 degrees up here in maine lately), it turns over fine but doesn't start. It takes a second try to get it going, but even then it needs me to play with the gas peddle to keep in going. After a while (minute or two) it idles fine. If I take off after it starts, it seems a little weak and likely to die unless I give it some gas. Once it's warmed up - a few more minutes, especially in cold weather, it's OK. Any ideas on what's happening and a fix for it? Much appreciate the help...english

P.S. Anyone want to guess what I paid for this one? 57K, power steering,sliding window, premium sound, ABS, cargo cover, air bag, etc.?

Based on this problem, perhaps you got a great deal of 5K?
