My car will start when I turn the key and it will idle for a few seconds and then shut off. I can re-start the car and it will do the same thing until eventually it won't kick over. After this happens if I leave it sit for a little while it will usually start right up. My belts were replaced a year ago and the battery is about 2 years old. I have had the alternator and starter checked out and it all seems to be running fine. I have noticed that this usually only happens in the winter or when temperatures get really cold. I am not sure what is going on or how to fix it.
