A car may stall and hunt for idle in cold weather due to several factors, including dense air affecting the air-fuel mixture and the engine's inability to maintain the correct idle speed. Cold temperatures can also cause thicker engine oil, leading to increased friction and resistance. Additionally, issues with the idle air control valve or vacuum leaks can exacerbate the problem, making it harder for the engine to stabilize at idle. Proper warm-up and maintenance can help alleviate these issues.
