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.
It means the engine stopped running.
A cold wind should have no effect on the car engine.
Faulty ECT (engine coolant temperature) sensor. Replace it.
Do you mean right after you start it ? When the engines cold ?
If carb. perhaps choke is not working properly
There is no computer on that vintage rabbit. Check the spark at cold and hot. I bet the ignition coil or controller is failing , coils fail at hot.
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.
Usually, a jeep's engine stalls in idle mode because of a battery power fault or because there is no gas. However, it is common for any car to stall when it has not been running for a period of time and the engine is cold.
Stalling at idle? Immediately after starting? While driving? While stopping? Cold or hot engine? What engine do you have?
There are a few reasons why a car might stall when cold. The car might just be stiff from the cold weather.
This is a electronic fuel enjected engine and therefore the electonics set the engine idle speed a bit higher during a cold start so the engine will not stall out.
