I've never had any problems starting my truck until yesterday afternoon. It never got above 40 here yesterday and the truck wouldn't keep running after I started it. It would start fine, but as the RPM's started down they never stopped going down, and it happened very quickly. So on the fourth try I stepped on the gas pedal slightly after it had started and I could keep it running. As soon as I let off the gas it would die. Once the engine had warmed, about 3 or 4 minutes, it would idle just fine. What's the problem?

I have and also have had that problem once before...it has something to do with the fuel system...why it does it when it's cold I don't know...but I ran a bottle of injector cleaner through and cleaned out the throttle body and it ran fine for months...but it is starting to do it again...so I guess it's back to the store I go for more cleaner...hope this helps
