Hi, the problem just started one day. in the middle of winter about 20 degreesF (cleveland,ohio).I didn't have a lot of money to spend and I needed a car about 1 year ago. I paid $1,000 for it and it ran beautifully until this past winter as stated above. The warmer the outside temp is the better it starts. After i finally get it started with a real hesitent idle. I wait about 10 minutes slowing raising the rpms up. If i try to soon it will stall. After a while I begin to drive down the street and it still wants to hesitate. After about 3 or 4 blocks away it runs very good. Runs great at this point and I just happened to go on the freeway and it is still running great. When I shut it down and restart everything is fine. If I wait a couple hours before restarting the problem comes back but not as bad. the next morning the problem starts all over again. I know I am putting a strain on the starter, but I don't have another car. One thing that I noticed was for a coulpe of days I would put $5 of gas in and I found myself putting more gas in it, maybe 15 miles latter. the other day I put $20 in it and it seems to be using the gas normally now. But I still have the starting problem. If you ask me something else I will try to describe it the best I can.
Thanks so much, John
