Hello,
I have a 1999 Dodge Stratus.When it gets cold out and I start it to warm it up as soon as I let go of the gas pedal it immediatly stalls.It will start after a few tries.I'm at my whits end with this because this morning it took a half an hour to finally run without me having to sit out there with my foot on the gas pedal.The car has been to the garage and chacked.I also have a leak but have no idea where it is coming from.But the oil has been full along with the power steering fluid.But we think it drips on the exhaust and then makes it smoke.They could not find the problem but said it could be a cracked block?Could the stalling be due to the timing or the fuel?I have no idea.Thank you for your time and any ideas will be appreciated.
