car dies wen cold

ok my car is pissing the hell off right now.

wen i start it in the morning or wenever the engine is cold its dies immediately unless i keep my food on the gas till the temp rises. after the motor warms up it drives fine, wat could be causing this? i got a code for the downstream o2 sensor so i changed it and the cel came back on

Re: car dies wen cold

I had the same thing happen to me last winter. Instead of using traditional cheap oil use synthetic. It isn't as thick when cold and engine doesn't have to fight it to keep itself running.
