Car starts then stalls on a cold start!!
Ok guys, its about 8 degrees [ -6 * with wind chill ] right now and I just went to start the car.
The car started but died. Started again, died again... Waited a couple of mins and started again, it fired right up but I had to hold the rpms to about 2000 to keep it from stalling
Just wondering if its the battery ? I have the original battery, alty, pulleys etc...
Also, I had the convertor installed and a dyno tune done last week...
Any ideas, suggestions.. ?
Thanks!!

If youve reset or reprogramed the PCM, it will need to relearn the IAC position and some other stuff while starting in the bitter cold. Each time you cold start it from single degree temps and lower you shoudl find it starts easier, as the computer remembers from the last time.
