This morning I woke up thinking that my car will start up as usually. However, the car wouldn't start properly. All the lights were on, the dashboard lights were on, and head lights came on but the car wouldn't start. I was able to get the car jump and everything came back up. I drove to get my battery tested and alternator tested - Everything came up "Good". I notice that my RPM is not running full charge. When the car started, the performance dropped down. When I came to a stop sign, my call stalled as if it was going to cut off but I mashed the gas and it went into the normal driving condition.

I don't know wheter I need to get a tune up. I haven't had one since. What other suggestions could it be? Someone told me that being it's cold, that may have caused my car not to start up.

If you have a check engine light on, have the PCM scanned at most autoparts stores for free.

Otherwise, tune the car up, remove and clean the IAC (Idle Air Control Valve). Remove and clean the EGR valve and change the EGR gasket.
