We are talking care of our sons truck while he is in the land of sun and sand in the mid-east.

Now that winter is here and when the temperature is 35 degrees or colder, the engine will miss, cough and generally act like there is water in the gas or has dirty fuel injectors. It is a '98 with stick V6 and 110K miles. The plugs, wires, cap and rotor were changed at 100K.

When the outside temperature gets warmer than 35 degrees it runs fine. Any help would be appreciated. Tanks

you probably have a bad batch of gas; in the winter time, there are winter grades of fuel and summer grades of fuel. Chances are, you're running summer grade. My suggestion, let the engine run for a while until the level is low and then put in a good grade of gas like BP Ammoco, and go from there.

I had forgotten about that, thanks for the reminder.

i agree with freaknasty82 lots of fuel problems out there

I had the truck into the shop a while back and the problem turned out to be a bad crankshaft position sensor.

Thanks for the update.
