Stalls/Rough Idle in Cold Weather

Breanna · 12-03-2005, 11:48 PM

Hi everyone

My 1996 Contour does not like cold weather! Now that the weather is below freezing most days, my car will not run right. It usually stalls when I press in the clutch, but sometimes it will rev up to about 5000 RPMS! In warmer weather it runs just fine. I put up with this all last winter, but now I'd really like to figure out what is going on. If anyone could help, that would be so great.
