Since it has gotten colder, this motor is exhibiting an interesting behavior.
It starts and idles well, but when I try to go beyond idle, it stops immediately like you turn the key off. It will run fine in or out of gear at idle, but when I try to accelerate, it immediately shuts off. This occurs several times until the motor warms up a bit. This never happens when the motor is warm - just when cold.
Has anyone else see this behavior and do you have an idea of what I can do, short of letting it idle for a couple of minutes before accelerating?
Many Thanks.
