I'm having problems starting my car. Sometimes it starts and once running it continues to run but sometimes it just wont start. I just got a new battery as the other one didnt seem to be charging but the problem persists. A mechanic i know checked the computer and said there was an immobilser but i tried using the other key and that doesnt work either. This only started happening in cold weather and it was suggested that it may be that the automatic choke isnt functioning properly?
