Default Altima98 GXE - Cold engine problem - 12-08-2006 , 01:49 PM






Hi,
I have weird problem with my Altima98 GXE (automatic transmission) and
wonder if someone has experienced something similar or can point what
to look at.

The problem appears only in winter when the car stays few hours
outdoors in cold weather (below 0 deg. Celsius). The engine starts
easily, sounds well - engine service light is off, i.e. everything
looks normal. Car starts moving without any problem but as soon as I
release the accelerator for braking the engine starts to chop like it
would have no power. Then I usually switch gear to Neutral to avoid
stalling the engine and it comes back to normal rpm. As soon as engine
warms up which takes 2-3 minutes the problem goes away. I already
changed distributor cap, ignition cables, sparking plugs, air filter,
fuel pump and transmission fluid. No effect

Any ideas what could cause this ? Current mileage is about 82 K.

Thanks.
