It also might be that you need to increase your idle speed until winter is over.
IP timing was checked less than 20K back, as were the valves adjusted. New injectors were put in at the same time because I had them out to repair an issue with the head. If I increase the idle speed to the point where it doesn't die when cold, the car is almost undrivable when warm.
There are no idle issues when the temps are above 50*, just on cool mornings.
Engine has less than 50K on it, but I don't know if the IP was rebuilt at the time of the replacement.
