A cold wind should have no effect on the car engine.
There are a few reasons why a car might stall when cold. The car might just be stiff from the cold weather.
could be that the choke is not adjusted right
Over heated, too cold or if its a standard you could be droping the cluch to fast.
Could be the egr valve, low spark, bad seal on the intake
The idle speed control valve was bad.
It means the engine stopped running.
No, it would not. There are many things that could cause a stall at idle. The throttle plate could be dirty as well as the mass air flow sensor. You did not mention the kind of car or engine size. Is the check engine light on, is it when the engine is warmed up or cold?
Do you mean right after you start it ? When the engines cold ?
Does it stall at idle, just after you start up? Does it stall when you give it gas - or take your foot off of the gas? Does it stall at stoplights, stopsigns, etc? Does it stall when the engine is hot or cold or warm? I would love to try and help, but you've gotta give me something to work off of!
Check your transmission fluid level and also if the gear chamber is not well greased then it will make them stick causing the vehicle to stall.
Answer(this is if it is cold outside.( the first start- your engine block is cold and it is sucking in cold air, it does not like that so it stalls. the second and third start the engine is a little warmer, which it likes so it is able to run.Yes that is why it will stall, but to stop that you may need to replace some sensors on you vehicle. There are a lot of sensors that could cause this problem. Your idle control valve, mass air flow sensor, temperature sender unit, throttle position sensor, or you just need a tune up. The best thing to do is have your vehicle scanned and see what the technician would suggest first. All of these sensors are about a hundred dollars each, so good luck. I am having the same problem and it's just a process of elimination.
The thermostat control engine temperature. If it fails the engine can run hot or cold - that would happen long before over-heating caused the engine to stall.
