Hi Guys
Merry Christmas to you all.
1990, 2.4 litre 4 cyl engine auto
Drove my car in fairly cold weather today and once warmed up, it stalled as I came to a standstill at traffic lights. Never done this before and it started again immediately.
It kept running at really slow revs and trying to stall after that.
Any ideas what I should be looking for? Carb? electrics? air filter? Maybe too cold for it?
I think this model has an auto choke and I pressed the accellerator down to the floor before I started it.
Pete
