it really could be a number of things, but more than likely its either the idle air control valve that is sticking, or your Transmission Fluid is dirty. When your transmission fluid is dirty or has particles in it, the car will idle rough and seem to want to turn off, once it warms up and the gunk glogging the transmission filter is stirred up, the car will seem to run fine. If you let the car cool and that gunk re-settles, it will do it again.

Why does my 1996 caprice start when its warm outside but does not when its cold?

The reason that your 1996 Caprice might start when its warm out but not when it's cold is because, when the air is cold, it is easy for the car to freeze. Sometimes it just takes a while, and all cars tend to have trouble with this on occasion.?æ


Why is more CO2 dissolving in the cold water of the Arctic than in the oceans that are warmer?

Because the ability of water to dissolve CO2 goes down as the water increases in temperature. This is easy to see by leaving a can of soda out. The soda will lose its carbonation as it warms to room temperature.

Sounds like a problem i had with a Honda Goldwing motorbike, we stripped the engine down, had various experts look at it, all of them said the bike was dead. Found out there was a crack in a pipe, I can't remember the exact name of it but it was related to the water cooling for the engine, crack in the pipe letting the water out so the engine overheated and wouldn't start. I'd check your water, then you pipes.


Why would a 1997 ford ranger engine just click when trying to start?

First check the battery. Sounds like it might be dead. If it isn't the battery, it could be the starter relay. They are pretty easy to replace.
