Engine Dies When Temperature Around Freezing
Hello Everyone,
I have been a member for a little while but this is my first post. I have searched in the forum but have yet to find an issue similar to mine. If I am missing it, I would appreciate a point in the right direction.
My 2004 Crossfire has around 46,000 miles on it and the last two winters whenever the temperature is around freezing (my car is parked outside as I don't have a garage) and I start my car in the morning, the car dies whenever I put it in drive or reverse. It isn't a "sputter" type die, the rpm's just drop to below 1500, the instrument panel lights dim and the car just shuts off. It doesn't matter if the car is warmed up for 10 minutes or so, it still seems to shut off the first time. When I start it back up, typically it won't have an issue and will stay on although the rpm's will drop and the instrument panel lights will dim then brighten back up when I put it in gear, but the car will stay on and then I will not have any other issues. As I said before, I only seem to have the problem when the tempature is around freezing. Although I don't think it is my battery, I did check it and am getting normal voltage with the car on and off.
I would appreciate any help with this,
Thanks!
