alright, so i just bought my first car which is a 97 monte carlo z34 and my question is.. when it gets cold out.. around 10 degrees or less and i leave it over night, in order to start the car i have to hold the gas pedal down until it warms up. any ways to fix this?

 

well my 3100 is a bitch to start when cold and its cold outside still even with a brand new starter so I'd have to see the degree of the problem

 

He has a 3.4 DOHC.

Try doing a tune up.

 

they guy i bought it from said it has something to do with the mass air flow sensor..?

 

yeah i know he has a 3400 thats why i said my 3100 tune up and/or seafoam

 

Are you just noticing in cold or was it doing it before it got cold I would check the sensor.. Does it have k&n filter in it ???

 

well i just bought it two weeks ago. its just when its sitting over night and its cold. after i start it once it works fine. and i have no idea.. dont know a lot about cars yet..

 

yeah my car does that its nothing bad a tune up and fresh oil might help i find the dirtier my oil and more sludgey it is that its harder to start in that situation

 

just changed oil last week and that didnt help.. haha. ill try a tune up and see if that helps at all.

 

try to video tape it to show us the exact extent of it and know if its abnormal
