I have a 1997 ford contour. At cold temps the car refuses to idle without the engine dying out. I have to maually speed up the engine until it warms enough to idle. This often takes several minutes. I dont know if it is related but the air temp from the heater never gets very warm and take several minutes of driving for the heat to get even slightly warm. What may be causing this problem
