Check the choke first to insure that it is working properly. Next check the computer codes for any possible issues that may be shown.
i have a 2000 dodge work van 318 engine when i start in the morning it stalls several times until it warms up then ok
1w30 in warm weather, 5w30 in cold weather
Low on fluid, dirty filter, worn clutches.
Check Engine light is on. Engine OK when cold, but when reaches operating temperature it stalls at idle.
If its just the cord, then follow the old cord to the back side of the engine ( really the side of the engine closest to the firewall ) and replace it. When the engine is cold, plug it in and you will hear the block heater heating up. If you don't hear anything, then replace the heater also. That requires a little more knowledge.
Faulty ECT (engine coolant temperature) sensor. Replace it.
Could be faulty ignition coils especially if engine starts when cold then stalls and will not start once warmed up.
Because when the engine is sitting there not warmed up with any fluids running through the components, and suddenly it gets put into gear, it stalls to send a warning that the engine is still cold..always warm up a vehicle when the weather is cold! ALWAYS! even a new car, if its cold you must let the car work itself into driving conditions....try running a mile with absolutely no liquid running through you, see how many times YOU stall..
no but it does have a manual hot /cold lever control box which is adjusted via vacume hoses attached to the heater control unit on the dash
Check to insure that the engine coolant is full and the thermostat is not stuck. Without the heated fluid from the engine the heater will always blow cold air.
Sure can, just make sure everything is cold. (engine/exhaust)
take it to a mechanic
